This is a minor but welcome update of the outstanding K-3 which has been the top of the line Pentax DSLR for almost two years. Although a few people had some trouble with GPS locking up and the camera not turning off, it seems that most of us have had trouble free cameras.
Pros:
- Everything Good on K-3
- GPS
- Pixel Shift High Resolution
- Better low light focus
- faster focus
Cons:
- No built in flash

Wounderful camera. Pixel shift produces great results, is fun to use, and effective in jpeg or raw formats. I use a remote shutter release in mirror-up mode. A remote release is very inexpensive. Shutter is buttery smooth and very quiet, even when used in continous mode (8.3 fps is really quick).

This camera is a welcome addition to my Pentax line up. It's GPS and Astrotracer functions are great. This camera is not for the beginner although well organized menus,and speed make it a pleasure to use.

Very nice camera with weather sealing
Very nice camera, a little outdated but with a solid and robust construction (weather sealed), and to get effective sealing you need to use a WR lens like this one: http://amzn.to/2s6y0O6 This camera works with old Pentax lenses, and the focus motor embedded in the body is very fast.

Best APSC camera
Pentax offer the best ergonomic and working APSC cameras! I have used since 2006, with my first K10 from Pentax... K3 II is the big evolution to use old and marvelous lenses even from Pentax or Takumar, planned on K-mount engineering.
