Re: In other Pentax news.
I much prefer the whimsy to be happening in front of my camera. I should not be the source of whimsy. Though sometimes I will tell my subjects a lame joke.

Re: In other Pentax "News"
The reviews I've read put the auto focus speed of the K-3 and K-5II on par, but the K-3 is more granular, due to the increased number of focus points. I can only speak to the K-5II vs the K20D, and it's a revelation, Pentax auto focus that generally works... On 1/8/2015 5:04 PM, Charles Robinson wrote: On Jan 8, 2015, at 12:35 , P.J.

Really nice. Holy CRAP. Under $500? I've heard over and over that the K-5II has improved autofocus over the K5. How much better, can anyone say, is the K3 over the K-5II for focus speed? Because, honestly, better autofocus speed (and certainty) is the only thing I'm craving on my K5. So I'd either jump up to a K-5II or a K-3, whichever is "most confident in AF", if I were to upgrade at all.
