Pentax K-3: 24MP APS-C DSLR
One of the best APS-C DSLRs has been released. The Pentax K-3 boasts a 24 megapixel sensor, 8 fps shooting at full-resolution, and, in a possible first, an anti-aliasing (AA) filter that can be turned on and off. Other cameras need two models (Nikon D800 and D800E, Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs) but the Pentax K-3 offers an easy AA switch for you to choose between moire control and maximum resolution.
“Benchmarked as the most advanced enthusiast DSLR available, featuring unparalleled technology and specifications, the PENTAX K-3 will set your photography free with the new standard of imaging performance and unsurpassed user-flexibility.”
— Pentax
The Pentax K-3 will be available in November 2013 for around $1,300.
