Pentax K-3 Side

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.
