Implentation

Pentax worked hard on improving implentation of the controls and the new features on the K3/K3 II. It's so evident it's absolutely impressive how well they have managed to make the camera work for the photographer.

This is what I'm thinking the entire time I'm using the Astrotracer function for the first time. Even precise calibration has been very easy for me to figure out after just one read of the manual on this feature.

It is so liberating to shoot at ISO 100 for night sky work, and to be able to shoot up to 5 minutes long without the need of an astrotracker mount or specialty astrophotography gear.

This is a VERY special camera for outdoor photographers.
