OK. I did some more research. There are essentially two types of 3D spirals which are simply 2D spirals stretched along the z-axis. The cylindrical type with constant radius also known as a helix as found in "spiral" staircases & DNA molecules (double helix) and the conical type with increasing

Okay. Quite frankly, until you reminded me, I forgot it could be called a spiral staircase. It is, after all, only one level and I tend to think of spiral staircases as being more than one level. The spiral is supposed to be one of the more common shapes in nature. Marnie aka Doe :-) On 7/6/2

Both the K3-II and the K70 have features not found in the other, so I think it would boil down to which camera has the features you would use the most. Based on reviews (I have not used either) the K3II appears to have better AF ( at least it has more AF points and more cross AF points), fast
