I appreciate the review! The only thing at this point keeping me from upgrading from my K3-II is the lack of built-in astrotracer. I love astrophotography and wouldn’t be able to afford the new body plus the external GPS module. Someday I’m sure I will but still have lots of life in my current gear. Keep the vids coming!

10:00 That reduction in buffer in crop mode is really disappointing. 34 frames is disappointing, but 20-some is baffling.

Thanks for your review Kobie! I totally agree with your conclusions. I would just add one thing: when the K3-III is called an “enthusiast” camera, this is for once no marketing bla-bla. And I mean that both ways, good and bad: there are so many options, that you can setup this camera exactly (like in 150%) the way you want it! The downside is that if either you don’t use it that much, or you struggle with your memory (like me, LOL), then you might not go to its full potential. But when you do, it is a fantastic camera. What an upgrade from the (still good) K5-IIs! Now for me the question is: “to 16-50 PLM or not to 16-50 PLM…” All my lenses are screw drive AF or SDM (none broken, hallelujah!), so I am kind of curious how fast AF can be at its best.

So they tweaked the AF. Good. Now they can focus on tweaking the price to the €1400 range 😀

But 34 frames are very bad. Less than 3 sec buffer. Crop mode is just software postprocess crop mode, that camera is still using full sensor for capturing images and THEN recalculates.

Build-in flash is better than nothing and can be used as wireless control unit. External flash is nice, but it is another unit to care about and carry it. Unfortunately Ricoh does not even have some small unit like for example Olympus do have. The only option is to carry some Metz26 everywhere in case it works with new K3III…
With this method we can also remove display and just say that in film era there were no displays and we can attach external screen if needed. Or we can remove complete JPG process as no advanced photographer uses it anyway. Etc.

Thank you for this review! I am still trying to decide on either this camera or the K-1 II.

OK, very comprehensive review/critique. I may have missed it, and I know a lens makes all the difference, but what about the finished image?

Great video.
The 2000€ were a big step from my K-5, but I quickly found out that the K-3 III is totally worth it. I was never interested in K-3 because of its not so good high ISO compared to the K-5. But the K-3 III is in another league so good it is. At first, I wanted to reduce the max auto iso of 6400, but I don’t need too, it is so good.
Crop: did you check the frame rate? cropping a sensor will increase a lot the readout frame rate, and then the buffer will fill more quickly. So maybe you have less images but higher frame rate?
Video: weather sealed camera will always be quite hot, as the heat cannot go out easily, even more on a tiny Pentax. Anyway, with just 8 bits video output, it would never be good for video
Canon, Nikon, Sony: all Pentax APSC are a lot smaller than the concurrence, and often lighter. For traveling, Pentax is the best choice. Regardless of the size, the other have great cameras, but price are quickly over K-3 III. Even more for mirrorless, if you want a good EVF to compare nicely with the OVF of K-3 III, it will not be easy to find something even at the same price.
GPS: a good GPS antenna for astrotracer was maybe too big, but Pentax should have put a tiny GPS like these of smartphone for geatagging. The cutted K-3 III model shows enough empty place for such GPS above the pentaprism
Flash: I used sometimes the one from K-5 as fill-in during travel. That will be missed. Otherwise, I only use Cactus radio with Nikon flashes

Thank you Kobie for your review. I, too, like the camera very much. It is not perfect, but I didn’t expect it to be perfect. If you know your equipment and know what you are doing (technique) I think in almost all circumstaces you can take wonderful pictures.
Looking forward to your next vodeos.

Great job Kobe! I completely agree with you. Camera designs are a set of compromises, it’s impractical to build the perfect camera for every use, every situation, every user.
I’ve progressed from a Pentax MX to the K10d, to K-5 then to the K-1 and now added the K-3iii. I love the K-1 for landscape but it’s terrible for birds, wildlife and action. I use the K-3iii with the DA*300 f4 & 1.4 teleconverter with great success. I bought the DA* 11-18 thinking this would be a great way to reduce my kit for backpacking and leave the K-1 & D FA 15-30 at home. Like you say, it’s a compromise, the IQ of the 11-18 isn’t as good as the K-1 and 15-30 but I don’t need to hire a team of Sherpas to drag my full frame kit up a mountain.

I had a love/hate relationship with the old DA*16-50 SDM so I picked up the new HD DA*16-50 PLM. The 16-50 PLM is nearly as good as the K-1 and 15-30 at the wide end and blows away the K-1 with the D FA 24-70 at any zoom length for IQ!

My backpacking kit is getting complicated.
Oh K-1 mark III where are you?
PS Where is the D FA 21 Limited? Pentax might need to take a serious look at replacing the D FA 24-70 too to keep the full frame users happy.

I have both a K1 mk2 & a K3 mk3. Like Chalk & Cheese. It’s a wow… using my Pentax. As I wished it would be. Use both with the Battery Grip. People who shoot Canon or Nikon, probably don’t know what a Pentax is like to handle. And what they are missing. As for Flash GET A K70..!!!! At an event use your Mobile to photography people. Drawback the initial expense. I know a holiday is now out of the question. For a while. But people spec cars… that are grossly over priced… but don’t blink. I now have all I need….For what you get the K3 mk3 amazing value for use….Go figure. 🙂

I think the K3 MKIII would be an upgrade from my K2000. I use a $500 lens on a $130 used camera. Can’t wait to get the cash stash to get a K3 MKIII.

Only two companies are now classic camera companies Pentax and Lecia. My K3-11 does what I need at this time. I will upgrade to the K3-3 eventually. I don’t need eye tracking as I’m not having a problem at this time .When I can’t see the screen I use catch in focus so I don’t need a flip screen I spent a week in the woods my Pentax performed with no problems what more can I ask for in a camera

I purchased two of them this year to replace my dated K3 MKII bodies. One had 643,211 shutters on it and the back up had 267,908 shutters on it. I use them for Motorsports and Airshows primarily so the focus and frame rates were very important to me. These cameras have been in torrid rain and 110 degree plus heat. They have bounced around on golf carts, been dropped and thoroughly abused for the last 7 months. I have to say they have been as tough as my Nikon D5 and D500 that they really replaced as the glass is lighter on the Pentax. Image quality has been amazing. Have had ZERO issue with either body. One has 116,754 shutters as of tonight and the the has 64,143 on it. Nearly 200k exposures in less than a year with ZERO issues. I will be buying a third in February 2022 as a back up. No problem with the price. It’s the same as what I paid for a Nikon D500 in 2016 and 1/3 of the Nikon D5 new. For my purposes these cameras rock.

Thank you for doing this review, but 28 minutes? Is there a bridge-notes version of this video?

Bright Red

Massively heavy

Waterproof

I honestly cannot afford anything else

Am a 💩 photographer

Gives me literally, the ability to bash would be robbers half to death 🤗

I’m letting my daughter and son-in-law use my K3ii to do product shots for online clients, now I’m really thinking about a new camera. Really don’t know what I’m going to get but the K3iii looks interesting.
