I am not impressed with neither the colour rendition nor the image resolution btw.

K3 + 15mm=$1300 + $700 = $2000
A7 + 14mm rokinon = $1700 + $340 = $2040
Now tell me I am crazy.

Capture One 7 doesn't support K-3's RAW yet. That's why any colour verdict is nonsense.
JPEF full size photos are made in low light. Nothing to say about colours.
JPEG of Pentax was always so-so.
Your position is position of philistine

Now let's see just how good this DSLR really is while I can still cancel the pre-order for my silver K-3

They state: In almost every shot, the Pentax K-3 had much better color quality than the Nikon D600. Also, the Pentax K-3 did a much better job of auto selecting the appropriate shutter speed while having the camera set to aperture priority. The Pentax K-3 also did a better job of rendering a more pleasing contrast in a variety of situations. Finally, the image sharpness was visibly more appealing in the Pentax K-3 than the Nikon D600.
Judging from the samples on that page, I fully agree with them. Pentax looks way better!

So what is it: something we have to fear for or just something that can be ignored. And do other camera's have this artefact at this level as well?

There, colors are catastrophic much worse than the original K5. You can also see the strong CA at the tree edges.
I just see with my eyes. Facts are facts.

Thank You Rice for links.
I am sorry but I am non much happy about these photos.
I looked them few times. I was hoping for more.
Please look at the sample images from Imaging Resource (previous links)
The pattern disappeared at higher iso in red cloth in a circle cloths. First I thought that cloth exchanged.
However, pattern is visible at ISO 100. So the pattern should be - but in high iso details disapeared. I understand noises, but what about details? - it is 24 MB sensor.
In my opinion K-5 is better.
The conclusion is one:
It is impossible make it better from the sensor APSC than already achieved .
All APSC make similar level of quality now. I copmpared many cameras.
We don't have any significant changes in the quality of the APSC for the last four years.
I am not fan FF but for better quality - time for FF ....
Best Regards
