Pros: Solid and well built body, viewfinder, AF joystick, key design.

Cons: Small screen, short grip with telephoto lenses.

Opinion: The writer has been present on Juza for some years, Pentax user from the beginning, as can be seen from my galleries. I had the chance to try the new Pentax K3 III with the 70-200 star along with the K1 with 24-70 in outdoor and indoor events. Therefore, my considerations are expressed in relation to K1. The joystick. When a K1 III comes out with this, I won't be able to do without it. Move quickly and have the machine reactive with selective MAF is priceless. On K1 the cross menu is not at all immediate and, what is even more serious, the buffer momentarily blocks the movement of the points. On K3 III this does not happen, the machine remains "alert" and ready for action. The fps fashion has also reached Pentax. Of course, it can help but beware of the workflow. The AF is immediate, devoid of that slight lag that the K1 manifests in hooking the subject in AFC. On a burst of 30 on runners and fast-moving people (outdoor theater) I was not wrong more than 3.4 shots. The viewfinder: Approach the eye to the eyepiece and forget that you are on APSC. The viewfinder has an AF point distribution of about twice as much vertically as the K1. The design of the body. Accustomed to the K1 I can say that Pentax has even increased the quality compared to the latter: the large upper screen, with high readability even in conditions of strong contrast and lighting reports all the necessary information (similar to Leica SL). Imagine the size of a Nikon D5600 with the viewfinder of the D810. The menu has been completely redesigned, in GRIII style, personally I had some initial uncertainty as the main icons are smaller and the submenus increased. Nothing that you can not overcome after a few hours of use. Instant liveview face attachment, keeping it with fast-moving subjects. I can not express myself, depending on my intended use, the touchscreen and the video. The LCD screen at the bottom. I would have expected it bigger than on the K1 which it is not. Too bad, sometimes it is necessary to tilt the body slightly upwards to view the screen. As expressed above, use with telephoto lens would have required a longer grip. The depth is all there even if not like the K1 that appears decidedly more massive. For me who have medium-large hands, the little finger very often remains uncovered and the ring finger on the edge. I believe that the use of a BG is indispensable. FINAL CONCLUSIONS: A K1 in the body of an overweight K70. A real leap in quality for Pentax!

Pros: Autofocus (finally) performing, excellent resistance to high ISO, infinite possibilities to customize the parameters

Cons: Fixed display, some commands to review, battery life not great
