Yaotomi Camera Speaks More about the K-New (aka K-3 III Now)

Japanese Yaotomi Camera has just twitted yesterday and disclosed more information of the K-New, now tentatively named as the K-3 III.


And the launch/marketing date will be delayed to the year end, but should be within 2020.

Yaotomi originally also wrote about the expected price tag of the K-3 III but it was deleted shortly after that. Their explanation is that it was their own "guess" only so it was improper to write about it.

Nonetheless, Yaotomi still keeps their guess that the K-3 III is positioned between the D500 and D7500 if Nikon DSLR bodies are compared. Hence, we can expect the price should be somehow in between but closer to that of the D500, as it was normal that the Pentax new bodies were selling at higher prices than the competitors' comparable offers.

Last but not least, Yaotomi also disclosed that another two announcements would be made before and after the K-3 III announcement, for the K-1 II Silver body and also the three silver DFA lenses, respectively, in their original twitter post.

Im Awaiting for release date.
Pentax are so dead. All they are talking about is an optical viewfinder! Two blog posts and some videos but nothing else, no talking about huge AF improvements, buffer, lens focus motors, literally only the view finder! Are they trying to commit suicide?

Ahahah, to commit suicide.
When I saw the video where they discuss the viewfinder I thought "these guys are strange nerds". How are you supposed to present your upcoming APS flagship model without providing more technical details?
I like the optical viewfinder.
I loved the video. :-)
