Additionally, it features dual SD card slots for expanded storage and backup. The articulating LCD screen aids shooting from various angles, enhancing user flexibility.

Limitations

The Pentax K-3’s video capabilities, while solid, lack 4K recording, limiting it to Full HD resolution. Its autofocus system, though effective, can be slower compared to competitors in low-light scenarios. The interface and menu system may appear less intuitive and dated to users familiar with more modern cameras. The camera's weight is relatively heavy compared to mirrorless models, which can affect portability. Battery life, while decent, may require spares for extended use. Lastly, the lens ecosystem is more limited compared to brands like Canon or Nikon, affecting lens availability.
