I sure hope the people posting the previous pics of it all being fake feel like morons now!

Yes, in a way I do but sorry to say, the corner inside the rubber grip didn´t look real to me. Looks somewhat better now.
My apolologies if I offended you, Gaz!

How do you feel, for saying: "People are idiots, the hump is simple part of the grip, people are looking for all sort so crazy features, the answer is simple it's for grip purposes. "?
You're a fraud.

Because I felt like stirring up people.

People take themselves and the camera world too seriously, it's a great camera and I hope you get to enjoy it as I have been.

Gazooma takes himself too seriously - and ends up looking like an obvious fraud everytime. How is that DPR ban? LOFL

The body of lens is like DFA100 WR. Is it metal? How do you think?

You Pentaxians are LOL... peers stuck with gears whose technologies are generations back plus like a lost child whose family name has been changing.

Look! why can't they stick with one signature color? you get gold... silver... green... and now red??

Geez! and what's up with wasting resources 'renewing' the 55-300 WR???

If WR is one of the selling points... for goodsake... please stop wasting resources and come out with a decent Ultrawide and WR it.

What a mess!

Indeed,

but they love it on the forums. Win, win. FF waiters(a decade is enough) can get out and Thanksgiving sales soon.

It looks like a full commitment to APS-C. I'm not waiting another year for FF either.

This is really positive. They love it on the forums!

Thank you Vaards for your input! Now is the time to sell/lighten if you were expecting FF, eh?

I would wait for a Sony NEX FF. It might come out the same day as the K3. the Sony aps-c and full frame lenses are more economical and sensible.

What's your job? Selling Sony cameras on Pentax-related sites?

Sony camera do mundo · 596 weeks ago

I own a K5 and a K01 and a lot of K mount lenses. Now with the price hike on all the Pentax lenses and a FF body is nowhere to be found, the only option is a nice Sony NEX FF or NEX-focal reducer. Why pay premium for second rate tech except when Pentax has got you by the balls. How loud would you wanna moan/groan?

Alright, so you are a Sony dealer! Can you give me a good price for a "nice Sony NEX FF" with first rate tech?

The first picture looks Ricohish.....

I bet the color depth is 12bit instead of 14bit, (an amateurish way to get the speed up to 8.5 fps) while at little or no cost to Ricoh it will result in color banding in PhotoShop. Also if and when they come out with a D645II they'll probably stick with the present 14bit color depth instead of upping it to 16bit color depth like the real Medium Format Cameras.

Imagine if they had a 645DII with a full size 645 sensor (same as film format, no crop). It would be a massive success.

It's a hard times for Pentax-Ricoh guys at marketing/sales department. If they will announce FF in near future (1st quarter of 2014, I presume) it will automatically decrease sales of K5/K3 segment bodies. And we will see a lot of second hand DA* zoom and DA Ltd. lenses on the market :)

I can't underztand why so many posterz seem to be so FF indoctrinated, that they will reject a total amazing, innovation-full APS-C camra and best APS-C system in the world in favor to a most boring and dull FF offers Nikon spitz out! You guyz who complain about K-3 being APS-C are beggars of worst kinds: you know the pricez of everything, but value of nothing.
