Landing merely a year after Pentax provided its K-5 II/IIs, the new K-3 does not look to have brought any major shake-ups to the basic style, controls or design of this SLR. The build is as portable as ever before, leaning to the squat side for a DSLR, and also it still comes with the same soft, nearly muffled shutter-release. On closer examination, a couple of vital changes have been made. A red video-record switch has shown up simply alongside the viewfinder, together with a photo/video method button for usage in Live Perspective. The AF/MF selector has actually been relocated from the back of the camera to the side, in a comparable set up to Nikon SLRs. An AF button has actually been added on the back of the video camera, falling just under your right thumb, pushing the direct exposure lock button (AE-L) a little bit additional round the video camera's shoulder. A big black as well as white LCD keeping an eye on display could also be located up leading for an at-a-glance introduction of the primary setups being used. Oh, and in instance you had not currently discovered, there's now a "Ricoh" logo merely under the primary LCD.

A USB 3.0 port has been included to the links, making the K-3 the second DSLR to adopt this faster interface after the Nikon D800. There's no indicator of onboard Wi-Fi, but Ricoh recommends using an Influenza Card for anybody looking to manage their K-3 remotely through a smartphone.
The Pentax K-3 ups the game a little with its optical viewfinder, boasting 100 % protection and 0.95 x zoom (or around 0.63 x in 35 mm equivalent). The viewfinder is certainly precise, but it might still be bit more clear. Nonetheless, seeing as the AF factors typically aren't permanently presented (they just illuminate when active) and also the only structure noticeable is the AF zone, you get a nice unobscured sight of exactly what you're doing.
The menus in the K-3 are all pretty straight-forward, and even it's very easy sufficient to work your means around the various setups. The menu showcases a specifically helpful settings introduction web page where you can summarize all of the electronic camera's existing setups, as well as pick and even alter them swiftly and also quickly making use of the thumb wheel.

The 3.2" LCD is sharp and exact (1,037,000 dots, 3:2 facet proportion) and even colours are adjusted properly (Delta E 94 = 2.2). It's just a shame that Pentax hasn't already included any one of the newfangled functions seen in other recent SLRs, like a tilt or swivel screen or touch-controls.
