Pentax K-3 Alleged Leaked Image

Recently, we shared some stated leaks about a possibly upcoming full-frame Pentax. Some of our readers pointed out to us that the picture we showed was probably a photoshop job. However, the name and specs of another allegedly upcoming camera, the K-3 APS-C DSLR that we also shared, now gained a bit more credibility thanks to that newly leaked picture above. If you look closely, there are some slight differences to the Pentax K-5 II, which is why we believe this might be an actual picture of the K-3, and not a photoshopped K-5 II. Also, consider how little Pentax changed from the K-7 to the K-5 to the K-5 II …

But there’s more: Photo Rumors also reports that the K-3 will have all-crosstype AF sensors, tracking AF as well as a new flash system. Naturally though, until the K-3 gets officially announced, we can’t be certain about anything of this.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
