I've also heard it used as "throw everything including the kitchen sink" to describe an all out, do-or-die maximum effort. On 4/27/2021 09:05:43, Alan C wrote: Phrases everything but the kitchen sink—everything imaginable. Alan C On 27-Apr-21 02:16 PM, Ralf R Radermacher wrote: Am 22.04.21

Re: The new K3 iii

"Everything except the kitchen sink" is a phrase that implies something has every thing for every one.  Except the K-1 isn't that.  It's frame rate is too slow for the dedicated sports and modern wildlife photographers. It's video capabilities can best be described as existing.  I would say

Re: The new K3 iii

"everything but the kitchen sink"  is idiom in English  - this definition I found online defines it nicely .. it includes "kitchen sink" by itself.. "You use -everything but the kitchen sink- to talk about a lot of different objects, /many of which are unnecessary/. "They tend to pack

I’m thinking the K3 iii might be a good choice for me to supplement the K1. I had planned on waiting for the K1 iii, but the APSC camera might be better fir bird photography. The Nikon D500 seems to be the first choice of birders currently. Long reach, quick autofocus and modest weight. Paul

Re: The new K3 iii

Malcolm, nice to hear from you. I think it is a good decision to order the K-3 3 for your street photography. It is claimed that the low light performance is better than of the K-1(II). Looks like an excellent camera, though I will never buy this model as I've realized that I'm using live view
