Re: Performance differences between the K-3 and the K-3II
Well there is a difference between the Nikon D3200 specs also, and they don't have shake reduction - so I doubt if that is the explanation. The 24.3 MP Nikon D3200 ,which purportedly uses the same sensor and has the exact same Image Size pixel dimensions as the K-3 (6,016 x 4,000), states: 24.2 effective pixels and 24.7 million total pixels (the exact same number as Pentax). So I maintain that the 23.35 on the K-3 is a typo. Both the K-3 and K-3 ii have shake reduction, so that doesn't really change the equation (by exactly a megapixel)?

The K-3 is called a 24.3MP camera most places (as is the K-3 ii) I expect that the sensor area is slightly more than the image area to allow some wiggle room when using shake reduction. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Performance differences between the K-3 and the K-3II
BH lists the resolution of the K3-II as 24.35 and the K3 as 23.35 megapixels. I wonder if that suggests a different sensor, or maybe they were able to squeeze 1 more megapixel out of the one use by the original K3.
