I totally endorse Larry's comments above. - The button arrangement on the K-3 has cut down, actually eliminated, the instances when I reset the shooting mode while trying to activate the AF. - I have held on to one of my K-5ii bodies because of the low-light high-ISO difference between the K-5ii and the K-3. It is fixable in post-processing, not a fatal flaw, but I am still surprised when I look at the K-3 images, surprised to see more noise than I have come to expect. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
