Re: My Spidey senses are tingling

[Zos Xavius]

The K-3 II is already discontinued. This should be a direct
replacement. I wouldn't worry too much about the naming conventions.
Pentax is weird.

Re: My Spidey senses are tingling

Just an off tangent thought, but when I was in the Army, "KP" meant
"Kitchen Police" [in this context "police" means "clean up"] ...

So maybe "KP" means it's a camera for hipster foodies to instagram with?

First this ...

I anticipate he KP will probably be a top-of-the-line hobbyist camera. Still
good, but maybe not up to the ruggedness of the 5/3/1 series.  Could be Full
Frame. Because they need a full-frame basic-featured body. Because people
just want to take pictures. Maybe $999.

That will leave room for a new K3 III. Anticipating a new body design that
will improve on circuit size, allowing both GPS & popup flash.  But probably
nothing significant otherwise. A tech step, not a tech leap.

Or

A K2 that makes 24Mp FF practical and inexpensive. That would fill in a
market gap quite nicely. Perhaps $1199.

Ok, the tingling has stopped. Bye for now.

I'll sell you my K2 for $1199.

My Spidey senses are tingling

As the letter designated bodies are entirely hobbyist and the numbered
bodies are prosumer bodies...

First this ...

I anticipate he KP will probably be a top-of-the-line hobbyist camera. Still
good, but maybe not up to the ruggedness of the 5/3/1 series.  Could be Full
Frame. Because they need a full-frame basic-featured body. Because people
just want to take pictures. Maybe $999.

Then {
This

That will leave room for a new K3 III. Anticipating a new body design that
will improve on circuit size, allowing both GPS & popup flash.  But probably
nothing significant otherwise. A tech step, not a tech leap.  

Or

A K2 that makes 24Mp FF practical and inexpensive. That would fill in a
market gap quite nicely. Perhaps $1199.

Ok, the tingling has stopped. Bye for now.
