The K-3 is rumored to be priced at $1300 for the body only and $1650 for a kit with the DA 18-135mm lens. A premium silver edition will be offered as well.

Lots of good inputs and outputs on the side of the camera include USB 3.0, an audio mic input, a PC output for wired flash triggering and HDMI output. The headphone jack explains the extra bump on the front of the camera – a nice touch for those looking to use the K-3 as a HDSLR.
In addition to the K-3, Pentax is rumored to be launching the new 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED WR HD PENTAX-DA lens, which is shown below.
