I think the eventual release of K1-III will be an interesting test. Canon supplies dwindling, Nikon perhaps still producing a few aging models, and Pentax with the only new or even recent product release. All eyes on that OVF.

I am afraid that Pentax, in that situation, dare to take an outrageously high price. They already have done that with K-3 III. It was, when it came out, the most expensive APS-C DSLR for many years. This kind of pricing for K-1 III will, in that case, make the test skewed.

And NOTE - even if the AF quality step for K-3 III was gigantic, it still was not on par with Canon and Nikon OVF.

You know that because you have it or used it then ?

I know it because it is common knowledge. Moreover, it is very reasonable. As the K-3 III is the first camera from Pentax with good continuous AF.

Do you have any information to the contrary?

I don't, but my common knowledge is as good as others.

I never heard of anyone owning both a (let's say) Nikon D500 and a K3III, latest firmware of course or at least recent, with serious knowledge of both, enlightning us with the differences regarding AF. If anyone has any source like that, I'm interested.

And then anyway there would need to be some clear domination, on most or all aspects of AF.

I'm talking about pdaf of course, live view AF is a lost battle

At the "other" forum, someone does have both (one of the admins). https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/210-pentax-k-3-iii/444781-k3iii-owner-now-ive-bought-d500-too-so.html
