If it is anywhere close to the K-5/II/IIs it is probably going to be the *best* APS-C DSLR on the market (at least for a week or two). : ) It is worth remembering that other camera manufacturers also use the Fujitsu Milbeaut image processor and so will be seeing a corresponding jump in *their* capabilities sooner, rather than later.

Re: K-3: And here are your OFFICIAL specs
Face it: this camera is pretty astounding. If Ricoh has anything to do with this event, then we have very good times to look forward to. I was just reviewing the expanded feature pages. Just about every feature where I ever thought it would be nice if ... they've addressed. Even completely stock, tried-and-proven stuff like center-weighted metering has been improved on (you can select the radius now). You can control a more restrictive part of the AF square to restrict auto-select to. My K20D has reason to feel uneasy. _This_ is an upgrade. I already contacted my pusher to arrange a hands-on.

Re: K-3: And here are your OFFICIAL specs
Thanks for the clarification, George. I agree with you; I would probably also want the ability to turn that off but it will be interesting to see what sort of images it produces. It is amazing to me what is possible with the in-camera horsepower of the PRIME III. I will be very interested to see what the dynamic range, etc. is for this sensor/camera. If it is anywhere close to the K-5/II/IIs it is probably going to be the *best* APS-C DSLR on the market (at least for a week or two). : ) It is worth remembering that other camera manufacturers also use the Fujitsu Milbeaut image processor and so will be seeing a corresponding jump in *their* capabilities sooner, rather than later.

re: dual slots Dual SD card slots allow for greater memory card flexibility, for separation of JPG and RAW files, and for use with Eye-fi card and new FLU card technology. I wonder if how you use the slots is configurable? Also regarding the FLUCARD, I found the wording interesting: With installation of the optional, dedicated 16 GB FLU CARD for PENTAX in the K-3, the photographer can remotely change settings such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO, shift the AF focus point, release the camera shutter, check Liveview image, and browse and download images to mobile devices and PC. Eye-fi Wireless and standard SDX Memory cards also compatible. Note the use of the phrase dedicated 16 GB FLU CARD for PENTAX. It appears that Pentax and whoever makes FLUCARD have cooperated together to make a Pentax-SPECIFIC Flucard.

I wonder if how you use the slots is configurable? Also regarding the FLUCARD, I found the wording interesting: With installation of the optional, dedicated 16 GB FLU CARD for PENTAX in the K-3, the photographer can remotely change settings such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO, shift the AF focus point, release the camera shutter, check Liveview image, and browse and download images to mobile devices and PC. Eye-fi Wireless and standard SDX Memory cards also compatible. Note the use of the phrase dedicated 16 GB FLU CARD for PENTAX. It appears that Pentax and whoever makes FLUCARD have cooperated together to make a Pentax-SPECIFIC Flucard.

Re: K-3: And here are your OFFICIAL specs
According to the Flu website that's how it works. All configuration is done through the card-in-the-camera's web server and through a couple of camera menus. I'm not certain how preview tethering is configured, but they mentioned an FTP client so it can at least push images to an FTP server. It shouldn't be too hard to push images through to Lightroom that way.

Re: K-3: And here are your OFFICIAL specs
Word is that it ships in November (that would surprise me very much). Still, it is intriguing enough and priced reasonably enough that a lot of Pentaxians might just hop on that pre-order list and be the first to get it WHENEVER it actually ships.

If it is anywhere close to the K-5/II/IIs it is probably going to be the *best* APS-C DSLR on the market (at least for a week or two). : ) It is worth remembering that other camera manufacturers also use the Fujitsu Milbeaut image processor and so will be seeing a corresponding jump in *their* capabilities sooner, rather than later.

Multi-pattern white balance When shooting scenes that include multiple light sources, such as sunlight and shade or flash, light sources are recognized automatically and the image is separated into different areas. White balance is adjusted separately in each area according to the different light sources to achieve optimal color reproduction. Sounds like it makes more than correction in different parts of the same image. I agree, like most other adjustments, it probably only applies to jpgs. But, it sounds like something I would want to turn off or on as a creative tool. I'm thinking of twilight or night shots where you may have several types of light in the same image. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 7:58 AM, Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com wrote: I believe that means that you can save JPEGs from the RAW image in different white balance configurations easily, in camera (which is very cool). ALL of the information is always there in the RAW file. IF that is correct, then I don't see any need to disable, because it won't happen automatically (saving you 9 different JPEGs at each preset white balance). Also, the anti-alias IS accomplished with microscopic sensor vibrations, so I was wrong about that. I don't really understand how it can do that AND shake reduction, but we'll see how it is implemented. I suppose that most people are going to shoot with it OFF and go for the resolution over the (rare) moire problem (unless you are shooting a lot of wedding dresses or something).
