Thanks again for the suggestion, Paul, but it didn't work. New K3 at Amazon is $808. My choice! The K3II is only $828, but I'm all ready confused enough, plus I read a comparison of the two awhile back where it was noted that the K3 seamed to have a faster continuous burst rate. Don't recall at all where I read it, however. J Sent from my iPhone
