Pentax K-3 and Fujifilm XQ1 Reviews

View email in your browser Pentax K-3 Review Pentax has produced a very competitive and capable mid-range dSLR with the K-3. It provides the image quality, performance and feature set to compete with any other dSLR in its price range. Sporting a 24-Megapixel APS-C sized imaging sensor, real-time scene analysis, incredible AF system and a shutter that can provide up to 8.3fps, you will be hard-pressed to find anything that this camera doesn't excel at. In-Camera SR (Shake Reduction) allows any and every lens to work with the camera's image stabilization system. The great features don't stop there either. Dual memory card slots, Eye-Fi compatibility, pentaprism optical viewfinder, full 1080p HD video recording, HDR image capture and a fully weather-sealed body help to round out the best features; but there are still plenty more. All of the features provide unique and amazing shooting possibilities that will allow and enhance your creative photography. The K-3 offers an amazing amount of control and usability thanks to its versatile and adjustable shooting modes, extensive custom settings menu and complete set of camera controls, with a programmable Fx/RAW button. This allows you to set the camera up exactly the way you like it, while even programming the custom buttons for one-touch access to the settings that you need the most. Pentax has included many of the AF controls on the camera including an AF selection button and AF/MF switch for instant changes. Control of the included 50-200mm lens is also very nice. The lens itself has...
