Re: Interesting K3III v K1 II

Yes, quite interesting... only complaint is I wish English sub's were available.

The AF on the K1 II did a lot better than I imagined in such a test based on the hype, but gotta hand it to the K3 III , it did appear certainly faster to acquire the moving subject and was more sticky, and stayed locked onto the subject better. My question is this... did they ever do a similar compare to the K1 Mk I ?

The one that kinda was weird for me and seemed counterintuitive was the ISO performance... it wasn't a linear difference at all. I guess it has something to do with the NR engine... because it looked like the K3 III was lagging in keeping the noise down early on, but then surpassed the K1 II once it got up into the ISO stratosphere of where we would probably never use it. It looked to me like the K3 III was retaining enough of the image of those balcony windows to still be recognizable when the K1 II had finally given up and it was just a smear.

Thanks for sharing Dean!.
