Old thread, but just got my first K3. What the hell were they thinking re the Info button, concept is good, options provided are poorly thought out. Menu changes make sense on the whole I think, gone is the extended ISO range caper, but ISO 100 lowest? And what's with changing the position of the AF button on the body radically and leaving the AF button on the grip where the old one used to be :( The K5 design was great in the respect that you could flip from landscape to portrait mode using the grip and basically all the buttons were in essentially the same place. Goddamn this thing better nail focus.
