Hallo,
weis jemand was davon ?
It has been over a year and a half since we've seen a new DSLR from Pentax- the K-5 and K-r (externer Link wurde entfernt) both came out in the fall of 2010, and the K-r ended up being discontinued in late 2011, prior to the announcement of its successor.
While we all expected the next DSLR announcement from Pentax to be about the K-z (externer Link wurde entfernt) (the K-r's successor), today Pentax Japan surprised us all by giving us an early look the Pentax K-3, a new full-frame addition to their DSLR lineup. Together with this camera, which will likely not start shipping until this fall, Pentax will also be re-releasing many of their FA-series full-frame lenses (externer Link wurde entfernt) as D-FA lenses.
The key specifications of the Pentax K-3 are outlined below:
The K-3 uses the same "crippled" KAF2 mount that's found on other Pentax DSLRs, meaning it's fully backwards-compatible with manual lenses, but needs to stop-down meter (externer Link wurde entfernt) when one is mounted. Whenever DA (APS-C format) lenses (externer Link wurde entfernt) are mounted, the camera will automatically switch to a 12-megapixel cropped sensor mode which only utilizes the APS-C image circle.
