Pentax K-3 Pentax SLR SLR Camera - Body Only Reviews
| 94 of 97 people found the following review helpful  More features, Less money, in a Rugged Body., By Verified Purchase This review is from: Pentax K-3 Pentax SLR SLR Camera - Body Only (Electronics) If you are interested in this camera, I assume you are either motivated to not buy Nikon or Canon, or at minimum you are not opposed to the idea of being a little different. For the cost of explaining to you friends that Pentax does still make very good cameras, you get a feature set that above and beyond what the "Big Two" offer at this price. Along that line, this is Pentax's current flagship camera. That means they held nothing back. There are no capabilities reserved for more expensive cameras in the line, and that should eliminate any buyers remorse.If you enjoy using manual focus, a Pentax Camera is a no brainer. Their DSLRs use the classic Pentax K mount. This allows you to mount (without an adapter) an arsenal of great old lenses. Did I mention in-body image stabilization? Not only can you build a small library of lenses, but utilize modern (and very effective) image stabilization on every one. In the K-3 Pentax dedicated a servo to its image...

I bought my first Pentax (ME Super) after saving for two years on my paper route in middle school. After a twenty year hiatus, I started shooting using the new digital Pentax cameras a few years ago. I loved the K5. Things I like about Pentax: they focus on what advanced amateur's like instead of flashy features. The cameras are more compact, very durable (you can drop them from hand height without damage!). They can use virtually any lens with an adapter (Canons have trouble with some older lenses even with an adapter). They integrate the shake reduction into the camera so that it works with all lenses and you don't need to re-buy the anti-shake with every new lens. They don't add features on a whim - and instead evolve the product in a backwards compatible and practical way. The K3 exemplifies this design methodology. It sticks with APS-C instead of jumping on the old full frame band wagon. That's great because the quality is similar to full frame,...

I am interested in taking pictures of birds and wanted a camera that is rugged and weather sealed but that also has high image quality. I also prefer an APS-C camera sensor which is an advantage for birding due to its increased effective focal length which allows one to put "more pixels on the bird" for better detail of feathers and such. The Pentax K-3 fits the bill perfectly. I paired it with the terrific Pentax DA*300 mm lens, which is also weather sealed and super sharp, and couldn't be more pleased! Now I have a terrific birding setup that takes amazing images but is still light enough to carry around in the field without having to use a tripod.DPreview has an end of the year poll on their website for The Best DSLR of 2013. As of today over 7650 people have voted in the poll which includes 11 camera models and the Pentax K-3 is the clear winner, having nearly twice the votes as the second place camera (the Canon 70D).
