The Pentax K3 was already a very tempting 24MP DSLR body and now it’s out in a stoic gunmetal gray finish with a new Prestige Edition. Pentax says it will only produce 2,000 of these limited edition bodies. Along the “manlier” finish the camera will also be kitted with a matching gunmetal battery grip, black leather camera strap, and two batteries. It also comes preloaded with the latest v1.10 firmware, which adds diffraction correction.
Other than the new coat of paint the Prestige Edition is otherwise the same great Pentax K3. It still features a high-resolution sensor, which produced image quality that we thought could only be bested by the Nikon D7100. The Pentax K3 is very made-for-photographers camera with tons of accessible controls even down to a digital, flip-on anti-aliasing filter.
The Pentax K3 Prestige Edition will start shipping August with a price tag of $1,400. Make sure to grab yours quick because there are only 2,000 of these limited run goodies.
