Because you can adjust the camera’s settings without taking your eye away from the viewfinder, you can concentrate more fully on the subject. Without battery or removable memory: 715g (1lb, 9oz) Loaded and ready: 800g (1b, 12oz) w/dedicated battery & SD memory card However, most people will instead be better off with a similarly priced mirrorless camera such as the Fujifilm X-T4 or Nikon Z6 II, both of which are smaller, lighter, faster and offer better autofocus. The simple user interface of the K-x (my first Pentax DSLR) was a dream come true. Then came the K-7, a wonderfully quiet camera, and then eventually the K-5, which had a lot of settings, but was manageable. I had high hopes for the next generation — that proved to be the K-01.

By installing the dedicated Image Sync application* in your mobile device, you can use a variety of wireless LAN functions, including transfer of images captured by the camera (an automatic image transfer function is available when the wireless LAN connection is activated) and an automatic resizing function to reduce the image size for transfer. These function make saving and using captured images easier and more flexible. This application also provides remote control of camera functions using your mobile device.

The result is highly sensitive expression with a natural bokeh (defocus) effect, rich gradation and extra-fine sharpness — an image only the monochrome-specific image sensor can deliver. But while it’s hardly going to trouble the best vlogging cameras, it’s perfectly serviceable for family videos. Footage is clear and colorful and the image stabilization really helps to keep things steady. In short, it’ll do the job for stills shooters who occasionally take videos, but not much more. Pentax K-3 III review: Features Pentax has not normally been seen as a leader in video technology, but the K-3 III does capture 4K video at up to 30/25p. This will obviously be shot in live view, and here the Pentax switches to contrast AF only – it does not have on-sensor phase detection. This might not affect slower-paced filmmaking but it won’t be good news for vloggers and run-and-gun shooters.

It’s amazing how much emphasis is put on sensor size/aspect ratio, at this point in the development cycle of DSLR cameras. Although there is no production limit for the PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome, it will be produced only in small quantities at a time, because of the difficulty of acquiring the exclusive parts and components on short notice and other unique factors involved in its production process. This means that delivery to buyers can be delayed. We advise them to note this in advance.Next, I wanted a large enough res to be able to crop a photo to those parameters (that allows the shooter to relax a little about what is in the frame that you don’t want in the frame). That is also now a done deal. Battery life is excellent — Pentax says it’s good for 800 images and I only needed to charge it a couple of times in my several weeks with it. Plus, you can charge it via USB-C, which is a bonus if you’re away from a plug as you can just use one of the best portable chargers and power banks. Pentax K-3 III review: Image quality On the other hand, the K-3 III’s 5-axis image stabilization is excellent. Pentax claims it’s good for an extra 5.5 stops and that sounds about right from my experience; I was able to shoot as low as 1/8sec with some good results.

The concept of a monochrome-specific digital SLR camera attracted a great deal of attention and interest from photographers visiting PENTAX Meeting Online 2021, a fan event held in November 2021. PENTAX has since made extensive research on the development of a commercial product based on this concept. The number of images captured in the continuous shooting mode is an approximate figure, tested at a sensitivity of ISO 100. The number may vary depending on the type of memory card used and/or the photographic conditions. The continuous shooting speed may decrease depending on the type of lens used and/or the aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity selected by the user. These brands gear wars are sandbox, 2021. And now it's about the never ending MP race again - also AF, face/bird/animal detection, etc. The PENTAX K-3 Mark III is compatible with Bluetooth 4.2 for transferring the position data detected byI tried Sony NEX-5N, which was amazing in many ways, but mechanically noisy (with shutter shudder) and a totally hopeless user interface. The Sigma lenses were mostly meh, except for a couple of exceptions, like the Zeiss-designed 1.8/24. Up to 25 minutes; automatically stops recording if the internal temperature of the camera becomes high. Any use of the product is relative to examining it, and ensuring it suits your needs. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop. SRS Microsystems Ltd does not sell products on a trial basis. I shot the same scene with K-3 III and my beloved Fujifilm X-T3 and the results are quite stark. The X-T3 may be three years old, but it's still an excellent camera — but the K-3 III leaves it for dead in this comparison, doing a much better job at exposing the scene and serving up far more realistic colors.
