We had another round of exams at the dojo yesterday, two nidan (2nd
degree black belt) and one sandan (3rd degree). I was shooting with the
28-105 on the k-1 and the 28-75 on the k-3.
I'm in the middle of the long slow job of processing the photos. But,
I've noticed a few things. First of all, in full frame mode, the K-3 is
just too slow for "rapid fire". In crop mode, it is noticeably slower
than the k-3, but definitely fast enough. However, when the action
really heats up (like in randori where several people are simultaneously
attacking one person), even in crop mode, the buffer on the K-1 is just
too small.
On the flip side, even in crop mode, the photos are a LOT cleaner than
the images from the k-3. I wish it were possible for me to just buy some
larger ram chips and solder them in and the K-1 would be the best Pentax
crop sensor camera by far.
I find myself wishing that they come out with a new top of the APS line
which is basically a K-1 with an APS version of the ff sensor, and a
bigger buffer, with all of the buttons and other UI just the same so
that my fingers don't get confused swapping between the two cameras.
