The K-3 marks a departure from previous generation models, sporting a new 23.2MP sensor that's not only a bump in resolution, but also manufactured by Sony. On paper the K-3 is a DSLR which many Pentax users have been waiting for, but does it deliver on this promise? Let's take a closer look to find outSEE ALSO: Best cameras 2013Pentax K-3: FeaturesAs well as the new sensor, the Pentax K-3 features an AF system that's yet to feature on previous Pentax DSLRs. This new system offers 25 cross-type AF points, out of a total of 27. Although it's not quite as comprehensive as some competing models with recent Nikon DSLRs, for example, employing 51-point set-ups the fact that 25 of the 27 points are of the more sensitive cross-type variety should ensure some impressive AF performance.</p><p>This is promising start, but one feature sadly missing from the Pentax K-3 is any kind of Wi-Fi functionality. Although Wi-Fi isn't a 'must-have' feature for all photographers, it's disappointing that it doesn't feature as standard.</p><p>If you can't do without Wi-fi functionality then all is not lost. Pentax has recently developed a new range of SDHC cards specifically to be used with the K-3, under the name of 'Flucard'. These cards differ from the ubiquitous Eye-Fi cards by not only supporting the transfer of images, but also allowing for wireless control of exposure settings and focusing via a compatible Smart device.</p><p>SEE ALSO: 10 Best DSLRs you can buy</p><p><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/pentax-k-3_Digital-Camera_review">Keep reading...</a></p>
