Don't worry, soon there will be a thriving aftermarket in a unicorn fart
substitute.

Funny comment on PF:
"The hump is for the new and proprietary Pentax PDIS, the Pixie Dust
Injection System. The cover on the end allows it to be refilled.
If you think Limited lens prices are high, wait 'til you find out how
much a pixie dust refill is!"

A hump rumor....
"Originally posted by moray-eel-bite
Okay, so before the reality dampens the rampant speculation:
The hump is a wifi receiver and sending unit. This is needed, because
the LCD screen is removable and usable as a remote with full depth-of
field preview as well as focus peaking. This allows birders and
astro-photographers to leave the rig set up and take pictures from
afar... a gimbal mount controllable tripod will be announced
simultaneously. This way you don't need to be near the rig to take
pictures. It also feeds into the 'selfie' obsession where you can see
exactly how the picture will look in real time before taking it (since
real outdoors people (the pentax niche) are often on their own in the
wilderness. Also, they've rammed a GPS tracking unit as well as a
superior flash unit in there... just for good measure.

- Lump under the K-3 logo.
My first inclination is to assume this has something to do with the
mechanism that flips the mirror up and down, such as a stronger motor
to make it move faster. I really don't know what it is, though. I
don't think I've ever seen anything like it on a camera before.
Yak shaving: Might just be a thumb rest.
If you're holding the camera with a pancake lens, as if it were a P&S and
letting it auto focus, (lets admit we've all done it), the lump looks to
be
positioned just right to be very uncomfortable. I guess that's one way
to
encourage proper camera handling.
