Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-3 Mark III Body

В сети полно роликов, про всепогоднось и неубиваемость Pentax...зимой снимаю и не думаю, как там камера себя поведет?...А качество снимков всегда на высоте ....ведь это же PENTAX ;) Пример фото на не самый "крутой" объектив: http://fotokto.ru/id64211/photo#photo2723124

за эти деньги это отличны, даже очень отличный аппарат!!! Сравнивал с младшими моделями Кэнон и Никон, лучше в многом. С топовыми в чем то лучше, а в чем то не очень!!!! Брать не брать, решать вам. Но я не капли не жалею!

This new enthusiast level camera shows that Pentax/Ricoh is serious about staying in the DSLR game. It is a top-to-bottom redesign, replacing the already good K-5ii and K-5iis.Feature-wise, spec-wise and performance-wise, the K-3 easily competes with the Nikon D7100 and Canon 70d. But in some ways it has even a little more to offer. Notably, this is the only camera on earth that can emulate having an AA filter, (to use when moire might be a risk), but without the full-time sacrifice of detail imposed by installing a true low pass filter. In addition, I'm not sure anyone else offers a star-tracking feature that uses GPS (optional) and the mirror to follow the earth's rotation. Very cool. But most importantly, this camera's anti-shake is built into the body, not the lenses - meaning it works even with any old K-mount lens you find at a garage sale. And the system works quite well, buying you 3ev or so.Pros will enjoy having two SD slots, very fast continuous shooting and a slick new auto-focus system that is (finally!) first rate - as good as anyone's. The K-3 is pretty forgiving about low light / high ISO shooting. You'll see some noise at 3200 but it cleans up pretty easily.While the video has greatly improved over prior models, there is still no continuous AF, making other choices more attractive for those planning to record their little girl's first ballet. (Think Canon.) This camera is for still-shooters, who will fall in love with it.For existing Pentax owners, the upgrade is largely familiar in terms of control placement. What moved, mostly, needed to. Using the camera is a breeze once you learn the controls, and there are many. Within a week, though, I found I could control the camera even in the dark, so the layout must be fairly intuitive. Better, so much can be controlled from buttons and switches that I almost never need to navigate the menu.Image quality is superb, and with 24mp one can crop deeply and retain surprisingly sharp detail. Colors are rich but authentic and white balance, so far, has been spot-on using the auto setting.Ricoh has placed their badge on the camera's back - I guess that's OK, as long as the Pentax name stays on the front. While nobody else is close to the Big Two in this market, I'd hate to see the Pentax brand weakened or supplanted. That said, we can thank Ricoh and their deep pockets for building a superior enthusiast-grade DSLR. Hope they keep them coming!

Отличная сбалансированная камера. Можно много спорить о том, нужны ли эти 20 Мп, но основное достоинство этой камеры не в разрешении, а в цветопередаче - она очень близка к CCD матрицам. Наконец-то Pentax создал камеру с достаточно точным балансом белого, хорошо работающим HDR да и еще в RAW! Обилие настроек поставил как в достоинства, так и в недостатки, потому как это палка о двух концах - с одной стороны повышает гибкость инструмента, с другой отнимает массу сил и времени во всем этом разобраться. Про автофокус много хвалебного не скажу, в нормальных условиях быстрый и точный, в условиях плохого освещения скорость фокусировки заметно падает, но даже при очень маленьком освещении он продолжает работать.Наверное, владельцам К-5IIS не будет особого смысла переходить на эту камеру, но владельцам К-5 и более ранних моделей, эта камера определенно понравиться. По цене спорно - я брал в Гонк Конге и мне она обошлась в 45 тыр, для топовой камеры вполне нормальная цена.

Выбор был между Pentax K-3 и Canon 6D. Canon конечно же привлёк полным кадром, но ранее уже был владельцем кэнона. Захотелось нового. Pentax прекрасно справляется на ISO 3200, не знаю пока как себя покажет на боле высоких цифрах, но и этого уже вполне хватает. Нужен ли ФФ? Хочется, но не знаю... каждому своё. АФ быстрый и точный. По видеосъёмке ни чего сказать не могу, т.к. я его не пробовал и она меня вовсе не интересует. Мне нужно фото! Авто ББ обычно правильно себя ведёт, но иногда бывают промахи, приходится выставлять вручную или править в редакторе, что делается без каких либо проблем!

When I thought they couldn't totally impress me again until they finally produced a full frame camera, they proved me wrong with the K-3. This is an amazing camera!!! I was shooting a K-5 for the past few years that I really liked but felt the auto focus left a lot to be desired. I thought about upgrading to the K-5 IIs when it was first introduced, but the fact that the sensor was exactly the same made me decide to wait on something better. I was really trying to hold out until they produced a full frame which I was praying would be soon, or I was even thinking about switching to Nikon, Canon or Sony in order to get a full frame. I have such a wonderful lot of lenses that I have been slowly growing the past 6 years that I didn't want to part with and have to start over from scratch. Plus after originally shooting Canon with my very first DSLR back in the day of 3.3 megapixels that I hated I just couldn't get myself to make the switch to Canon. I even bought a Nikon D3200 for my son to learn on, but truthfully it was to see if I could ever switch over to Nikon. Well the answer is a definite 'NO'!! It just appears backwards to me from the way you put the lens on by twisting counter clockwise to the meter being + on the left and - on the right. It is totally opposite on Pentax, and it is totally incorrect!!! Pentax just makes sense!!! The button layout, menus, and ergonomics are just infinitely better. Now with the new focus system in the K-3 and greater lower light shots, I couldn't ask for anything better. Sure a full frame will give me that extra depth of field and shoot better in low light, but after looking at the comparison pictures of the K-3 and the Nikon d600 with similar settings and lenses, I have no doubt that staying with this crop sensor was the way to go!! The K-3 images were actually better except at ISO of 6400 which let's face it....who cares? I don't even shoot at 1600 much less 6400. I rarely even go over 400 if I can help it. Now I can patiently wait for Pentax to come out with their full frame, and I will enjoy this awesome crop sensor while I am waiting. In fact, they don't even have to rush. I am completely happy with the performance of the K-3. This was an amazing upgrade from my K-5. Way to go Pentax and Ricoh!!!! I will remain a Pentaxian!

The Pentax K3 has received so many superlative reviews that it isn't worth repeating minutia. Simply do a web search for K3 reviews and you'll have hours of reading material and virtually all positive. Since Ricoh purchased Pentax and got them out of the awful Hoya ownership, the brand has come alive again.Best of all the camera is designed for serious photographers with unique features that still are lacking in other DSLRs and mirror less designs from SONY, Nikon, Canon and all the others. Examples include a programmable anti-aliasing filter ranging in three steps from off to full on, optional GPS hot shoe gadget that controls the movement of the sensor to track the night sky for night photography, 7fps, extremely quiet shutter, weather sealed, allow body, and arguably the smallest size and weight of any professional grade APS body.Both Nikon and Pentax use SONY sensors and the 24 meg sensor in the K3 is exceptionally well implemented by Pentax. If you shoot RAW format instead of JPG, you can use software such as Adobe Light Room to process the files and achieve incredibly good dynamic range and recovery of shadow detail under low light conditions.The K3 is an exceptional camera for still photography. It's weakness is it's video capability which is just OK, at best. But Pentax isn't alone in this area. Pentax, Canon, Nikon, all trail Panasonic and to a lesser degree SONY at this point in terms of video implementation. If you have a need for extremely high performance video in a still camera, the Panasonic GH4 trumps anything presently available from Pentax, SONY, Nikon or Canon, enabling everything from Ultra HD/Cine 4K to 720P. But if you prefer looking through a viewfinder and seeing 100% of what you're framing, and want an APS format camera that is simply as good as it gets, the K3 should be seriously considered.

I've been a Pentax user for a few years. My previous cameras were the K-7 and K-01. The K-3 is leaps and bounds ahead of both.The autofocus is always spot-on. I've taken about 200 shots so far; the AF hasn't missed one. Many of these were in low-light. I haven't tried the continuous AF on moving subjects, yet.The detail capture is stellar. Kudos to Pentax/Ricoh for removing the AA filter.High ISO and noise: I was impressed. The amount of noise with extreme ISO levels (12,800 - 25,600) at 100% is about the same as the last generation of APS-C cameras. But here's the catch: you have way more pixels to work with, so the noise performance is actually great. If you were to downsize a high-ISO image from the K-3 and compare it to a high-ISO image from last generation, the K-3 would look significantly better. (Though it already looks really good before you even clean it up.)Body: I haven't really tested this camera yet, but it seems to be built as tough as the previous top-end Pentax DSLRs. I put my K-7 through all kinds of abuse: rain, snow, the tropics, and a minor chemical accident. 20,000 shots and a few years later - still works like the day I got it (the 18-55 WR kit lens, too).The ergonomics have not changed a lot, but the K-3 seems slightly more comfortable to hold and easy to operate (thanks to a couple of button layout changes) than the K-7. YMMV.-----The 18-135 lens----The bundled lens is a mixed bag.The build quality and autofocus are excellent. The zoom range is very useful. The sharpness in the center of the image is good. But the border sharpness is a huge letdown. I believe the trusty (and cheaper) old 18-55 WR has better border sharpness, which makes a difference in landscape photography (at least if you are pixel-peeper or plan on printing big poster-size prints).If you're after excellent image quality with weather-sealing, better look to the DA* 16-50. Or save yourself some money and buy the DA 18-55 WR if you only need good image quality. I would only recommend the 18-135 bundle if you want the versatility of a wide-to-telephoto zoom and you're willing to give up image quality around the edges of the frame.

Это мой первый Пентакс, я долго искала замену моему старому Фуджику, наконец-то кажется нашла. Пробовала и Никоном, и Кэноном, Сони - ничего не устраивало по качеству картинок. Цветопередача отличная, резкость при правильной фокусировке отличная, меньше шумов на больших ИСО, в отличии от вышеперечисленных аппаратов. Шикарные портреты получаются, не выкладываю по причине того, что авторы против. Есть настройки фильтра АА, я практически всегда отключаю. Хочется снимать им постоянно. Короче - сплошной восторг! Купила дополнительно еще 2 объектива (без фанатичного бюджета на первое время), пока буду обучаться.Хотелось бы подешевле, но за такой функционал, наверное, это нереально.

Up front, please be advised that this camera does not come with the required Micro-B USB 3.0 cord, which I found out at 9:30PM, eager to look at my first shots with the new Pentax.I upgraded from a three year old Pentax K-5, which is an amazing camera in its own right.There is a certain quality to the images I got from the K-5, the dynamic range that enables the camera to draw photos unlike any other I have seen.The K3 has the same sensor characteristics, albeit in a much larger 24mp package and much much sharper thanks to the removed deep pass filter (which can be simulated by the sensor if needed).So far I have had no need for the filter after taking 1000+ shots, even though test shots of some fabric did display moiré patterns which were almost gone turning on the deep pass filter simulator (there are two stages available). The clarity and crispness is amazing! The RAW images the K3 spits out contain data from the darkest blacks to the brightest whites, giving enormous room for developing the RAW photos to JPEG.Comparable cameras like the Canon 70D have all the bells and whistles, like built in wireless, touch screen, video autofocus etc. That is nice to have if you like gadgets, if you like cameras, get the K3. It'll wipe the floor with the 70D in photographic output. The only feature I envy the 70D for is the swivel screen, which would be a great photographic tool to have. Maybe it'll be implemented in the next model. The dual cards are great for shooting RAW+JPEG for example, or just using the convenience it provides to have massive amounts of storage available if needed.The live view function has been massively improved over the K5, the focus being several times snappier and accurate.I took over 600 shots last weekend alone in combination with the mind-blowing Pentax 35mm 2.8 Limited Macro and the Sigma 70mm 2.8 Macro. The bokeh, colors and contrast these lenses paint onto the K3's sensor are pure art! Can't say it any differently.If you are starting out and aren't yet locked into any camera brand, give the K3 a go. It is an innovative, solid as a tank, pure camera, aimed at taking the best photos possible.

Камерой очень доволен. До нее у меня была к-х и к-5II, поэтому разобрался с настройками, которых довольно таки много, быстро и без напряга. Китовый объектив 18-135 очень радует. Для китового объектива отличное соотношение характеристик и качества.

I've held off writing this review for some time, mostly because I love Pentax cameras and was hoping the company would come up with a solution to the problem sooner rather than later. However, now that this has dragged on for months, I feel it's worth leaving my thoughts on the subject.Long-story short, the issue I had is called "Crazy Mirror Flapping" or "Runaway Mirror" in the Pentax world. The camera locks up, becomes otherwise unresponsive, and the mirror starts flapping at a machine-gun pace until you pull out the battery. I exchanged my first K3 for a new one, only to have the same issue. It's unpredictable when it happens, and seems to occurs in all types of conditions with a variety of settings, so I had no choice but to "downgrade" to the K5-IIs.I also had a series of silent lockups (no mirror-flapping), where the camera would just become completely unresponsive and I'd have to pop out the battery to get it to function again.And I had one incident where after a full day of professional shooting, the SD card became corrupted (after a lockup), and I spent many hours over a weekend trying to recover all the photos.Both lockup issues happened through all firmware versions up to the latest, version 1.03.The K3 just proved too unreliable for professional shooting. It is incredibly disappointing because the camera is brilliant in so many other ways. The image quality is outstanding and feature-set is impressive. For this level DSLR it is small and light, yet still incredibly durable.If not for the severe reliability issues, I'd have nothing but good things to say about it.For more information on the crazy mirror issue - visit the PentaxForums.com, K3 ForumsFor a video showing silent lockup and crazy mirror flapping lockup - see YouTube watch?v=CS_kYy3SVww

If you are interested in this camera, I assume you are either motivated to not buy Nikon or Canon, or at minimum you are not opposed to the idea of being a little different. For the cost of explaining to you friends that Pentax does still make very good cameras, you get a feature set that above and beyond what the "Big Two" offer at this price. Along that line, this is Pentax's current flagship camera. That means they held nothing back. There are no capabilities reserved for more expensive cameras in the line, and that should eliminate any buyers remorse.If you enjoy using manual focus, a Pentax Camera is a no brainer. Their DSLRs use the classic Pentax K mount. This allows you to mount (without an adapter) an arsenal of great old lenses. Did I mention in-body image stabilization? Not only can you build a small library of lenses, but utilize modern (and very effective) image stabilization on every one. In the K-3 Pentax dedicated a servo to its image stabilization.As for the K-3... I also own a K-30 and purchased the K-3 to be a primary body, with the K-30 serving backup, in order to start taking on portrait contracts. Do not let the APS-C sensor size steer you away. Many pros are now shooting Fujifilm (APS-C) and Olympus (m4/3). The focus peaking is very accurate and easy to use. The dual SD card slots is a nice pro feature. However, if you were hoping for WiFi, this is only achieved via SD card. Considering the trend towards connected cameras, this is unfortunate. But if you shoot RAW and dedicate your time to a post-processing workflow, than WiFi may be unnecessary. The IQ is brilliant and the colors and WB are the best I have seen from Pentax. The shutter/mirror sound is very quiet and precise sounding. And if you are interested in video capabilities, Pentax has finally taken you into consideration with the K-3. The camera is very customizable if you take the time to explore the labyrinth of menu screens. Overall, this camera is a leap forward for the company.PS. A firmware update was just released so any issues you may read about prior to Dec. 19th may have been addressed in the new firmware.

I received my K-3 about 10 days ago. Great camera! This is my opinion after comparing them to Canon 70D, Nikon D7100, Nikon D5300 and Lumix FZ200. All of these are quite good for a variety of reasons but for overall 'camera' the K-3 is the best. HOWEVER, here is an issue for which the camera gets two stars: the camera has frozen on me a couple of times and the only way to fix this is by turning it off and then back on! Once you turn it on, all the custom setting you have applied are gone and the camera is set to default. I researched this issue on the Internet and have discovered that many other people having the same problem. If someone has a permanent solution to this that I can apply I'll be most happy to update my review. [PS. According to others, this issue (freezing) apparently appears to be there even with the latest 1.03 firmware version]REVIEW UPDATE: I have not been able to duplicate the freezing problem having taken thousands of pix since the episode. I am, therefore, upgrading my rating to a five based on the camera's performance. If this freeze issue comes up again I will change my rating. I can't say enough about how robust the K-3 is and the attention to quality. For example, not only including a hood with the lenses, but also having a retractable slot in the hood to allow a CPL filter/lens to be adjusted without having to take the hood off. I also like the opportunity to manually adjust the focus via the focus ring even when the lens is the A mode (unlike some unmentioned big name brands that do not allow that). I am now looking forward to taking advantage of the intervalometer and multiple exposures and other features unique to the K-3.

Долго искал, долго заказывал. Реально получилось сэкономить кучу денег заказ напрямую со склада в Японии. У меня это первая зеркалка.... вообщем Икона. До этого имел Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR очень достойный аппарат для начала великого пути, наличие...

купил перед поздкой в Крым в августе 2014 г. за 20000 р. Разобрался без инструкции, хотя раньше не фотографировал, так читал обзоры, статьи по фотографии и т.п. Большой выбор сюжетных установок, если все правильно делать, то снимки великолепные.

Камерой очень доволен, почему-то, в обзорах нет одного из самых правдивых обзоров о трешке - http://www.it-world.ru/reviews/mirror-chambers/60200.html
