I don't think Hogan was saying anything about the K-3 in particular. In the Nikon world the D300/300s is quite old and he has been saying that its replacement, dubbed the D400, is quite overdue. He's actually poking Nikon by pointing out that Pentax put together a camera with a very nice collection of features that has raised the bar for what a D400 should needs to include. And, that it needs to get that camera released soon.
He's been pointing out for quite some time that Nikon hasn't released a good set of DX lenses for the APS-c shooter, and has been very complimentary about the Pentax lens lineup. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 6:43 AM, Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> wrote: > Peter, let me try to explain.
