Pentax K-3 II Review

Pentax K-3 II sensor review: Reaching for the stars

 Introduction Specifications and FeaturesAnnounced earlier in the year, the K-3 II is the mid-term upgrade to the maker’s top-of-the-line K-3 model which already had impressive specs, including a stabilized 24-Mpix CMOS sensor, 27-point AF system (with 25 of those being horizontal and vertical line-sensitive, cross-type sensors), up to 8.3 fps continuous shooting, and a durable metal body designed for pro use. Although the new model no longer offers a built-in flash, improvements over its predecessor include an upgrade to the stabilized sensor platform.Arguably the most significant upgrade, however, has been the introduction of Pixel Shift technology.
