The K-3 Mark III is built around a 25.7MP APS-C CMOS and a 101-point (25 cross-type) autofocus system (contrast AF in live view), ISO100-1,600,000 sensitivity, 12fps burst speeds, and can shoot up to 4K 30p / FullHD 60p video.
Ultimately, this is a very sturdy camera, that's surprisingly fast and able to deliver gorgeous stills. If that's all you want from a camera and you're attracted by Pentax's superb heritage, this K-3 Mark III deal is worth checking out.
