True .. but K-3 III is quite bad as well. Pentax needs a new battery system with higher capacity.

Best,

Bad? What do you mean by bad? Admittedly the KP battery life has been compromised to reduce size but my K5, K3 and K1ii are pretty good. What makes the K3iii worse than the three I own?

My K-3 III is for sure worse than K1 that I have (I simply mean how many pictures I can take or for how long I can use the camera before I see empty battery). And both are worse than what I remember for K-7. So .. it's getting to the point that it would be nice to have a new battery.

With K-7, I did not think about battery at all ... with K-1, I want to make sure it is charged before a full day of shooting but then I know it will be OK .. with K-3 III, I know I have to worry about this a bit as I can easily deplete the battery in less than a day.

Best,

M
