PENTAX K-3 Mark III B&W ONLY digital SLR aka Monochrome means the camera features a customer-developed sensor without any color filter array, so its a sensor without demosaicing algorithm, now every color sensor-based camera has the demosaicing algorithm, it is used to process the images, to reconstruct a full-color image from the incomplete color samples output from an image sensor. So, if you are a B&W photography lover and want to extract exceptional details from a given seen that a color filter-based Bayer sensor is unable to do then the PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome is made for you.

Ricoh announces PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome digital SLR camera
PENTAX K-3 Mark III Press Release
DSLR with exclusively-designed image sensor delivers the ultimate in black-and-white photography
PARSIPPANY, NJ, April 12, 2023 — Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation today announced the PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome camera, exclusively designed to capture black-and-white images. The only monochrome-specific digital SLR camera currently on the market, it captures high-resolution images rich in gradation, enabling users to express a distinct view of the color-rich world in high-quality black-and-white images.
“The concept of a monochrome-specific digital SLR camera attracted a great deal of attention and interest from photographers who participated in an online fan event held in November 2021,” said Ken Curry, president, Ricoh Imaging Americas. “PENTAX has since conducted extensive research on the development of a commercial product based on this concept and we’re excited to announce it today.”
The new model’s design is based on the PENTAX K-3 Mark III — the flagship model of PENTAX’s APS-C-format series that integrates remarkable imaging performance and a host of advanced features in a compact, durable body — while totally redesigning and optimizing the imaging characteristics by adding a new, monochrome-specific image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. A typical color image sensor composes a black-and-white image by converting the color data to monochrome. This new custom sensor does not have to convert the any data because it can reflect the brightness obtained by each pixel in the image, thus producing extra-fine sharpness in images that only the monochrome-specific sensor can deliver.
The PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome features three Custom Image modes exclusively designed for black-and-white photography to provide distinctive finishing touches. In addition to Standard mode, it offers Hard mode to produce high-contrast images and Soft mode to create high-key, low- contrast images. Each mode allows minute adjustment of parameters such as tone, key, contrast and sharpness so that users can personalize their images with the desired finishing touch.
The exterior design of the camera has also been customized to reflect its monochrome capabilities. Design features include white backlight illumination on the LCD data panel, “Monochrome” lettering printed on the upper-left shoulder of the back panel, a menu screen featuring a black-and-white visual scheme as default, and icons printed on buttons and switches across the camera’s exterior finished in three shades of gray.
1The PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome camera body will be available late April at www.us.ricoh-imaging.com as well as at Ricoh Imaging-authorized retail outlets for the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $2,199.95.
| Main features of the PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome |
Monochrome-specific CMOS image sensor
To optimize the quality of monochromatic images, the camera incorporates a monochrome- specific, APS-C-format CMOS image sensor free of an AA (anti-aliasing) filter with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. Typical color image sensors are designed to receive light passing through red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color filters, so each pixel detects only one color-data component. To compose a monochrome image, color sensors must convert color data into monochromatic data by interpolating the color data they collect. The new monochrome-specific image sensor, however, can faithfully reflect the brightness data obtained by each pixel in the image — without the interpolation process — to produce extra-fine monochromatic expression, in images high in resolution and rich in gradation.
Image quality exclusively designed for monochrome photography
The image quality produced by the original PENTAX K-3 Mark III was thoroughly re- evaluated and totally redesigned to optimize the imaging characteristics of the new monochrome-specific image sensor. The result is highly sensitive expression with a natural bokeh (defocus) effect, rich gradation and extra-fine sharpness — an image only the monochrome-specific image sensor can deliver.
A selection of monochrome-specific finishing touches
The PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome provides three Custom Image modes exclusively designed for monochrome photography to provide distinctive finishing touches. In addition to Standard mode, it also provides Hard mode to produce high-contrast images, and Soft mode to create high-key, low-contrast images. Each mode provides minute adjustment of parameters such as tone, key, contrast and sharpness. This allows the photographer to personalize their images with the desired finishing touch.
Exterior design reflecting the monochrome photography concept
The PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome provides white backlight illumination on the LCD data panel positioned on its upper panel, while featuring “Monochrome” lettering printed on the upper-left shoulder of the back panel. Its menu screen features a black-and-white visual scheme as default, while the SR (Shake Reduction) badge is finished in silver. The icons printed on buttons and switches across the camera’s exterior are finished in three shades of gray to assist the users with their camera operation. All in all, the concept of monochrome photography is evident throughout the camera body.

Let’s compare the Sony FX 30 camera against the recently announced Sony ZV E1. Sony FX 30 camera has a bit more compact body and let’s discuss the features that we exclusively have in the FX 30
Also, see – Sony ZV-E1 vs Sony A74
1.Sony ZV-E1 advances over Sony FX30
1. Sony ZV-E1 Full Frame Sensor: The biggest advantage you have with the Sony ZV-E1 camera is Sony’s A7 S III 12mp ultra-low light-sensitive sensor that produces exceptional video quality even when used in extremely low light conditions. Having a Full-frame CMOS sensor of 12MP doesn’t allow the camera to move into the oversampling mode, resulting in NO Rolling shutter effect even when uses at higher shutter speed or MAX frame rates.
 Sony ZV-E1 paired with 28-70mm Lens

- Sony ZV-E1 Best Lenses for Cinematographers – B&H Store | Amazon.com
2. ISO up to 409600 vs 102400: On the other side, we have the Sony FX30 camera that uses Sony’s 26-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor which is quite useful when you are working in a controlled light environment. Now, being a pro cinema camera for beginners the camera also features dual native ISO but despite having all the technological advancement in FX30, have in this camera you cannot fight with the hardware (or the very physical nature of the sensor being used inside this camera), it allows capturing method details for better details, so low light performance wise ZV-E1 is a clear winner.
 In the test above we have selected the Sony A7S III camera, as we know the Sony ZV-E1 camera uses the same sensor as we have seen on the Sony A7S III. And since we don’t have the test data of the Sony FX30 camera. so I have picked up a 26MP X-Trans BSI CMOS Sensor of the X-T5 to get a good idea of what the test will look like. Be assured we will update this test once the Sony FX30 data becomes available 3. Sony ZV-E1 Dynamic Range: The other biggest advantage that we get apart from low light performance is its dynamic range. With the Sony Z1 camera, you can extract 15 plus stops of dynamic range from your camera so it’s a perfect camera for shooting uncontrol light environment. And when you want to extract the maximum dynamic range from a given scene.
4. The artificial intelligent chip inside the camera: Human poses estimation using a skeleton-based model: With its innovative AI processing unit, the ZV-E1 uses subject form data to accurately recognize movement, providing an improvement of approx. 60% in human eye recognition14. Human pose estimation technology recognizes body and head position, so you can even track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.
5. A compact, 5-axis stabilization unit and gyro sensors with optimized algorithms achieve up to 5.0-step stabilization. The in-body image stabilization of the camera provides effective stabilization with a wide range of lenses, including E-mount lenses that do not include their stabilization. Dynamic active Mode stabilization is approximately 30% more effective than what Active Mode provides. This makes it easier than ever to shoot smooth, stable footage while moving around for bold, dynamic expression.
6. The ZV-E1 also boasts a Framing Stabilizer that uses advanced AI-based subject recognition in conjunction with the camera’s Dynamic active mode image stabilization to automatically keep the subject’s position in the frame constant.
7. With the Multiple Face Recognition setting, the camera can automatically track multiple subjects within the frame. This feature helps to stabilize the framing and ensure that the subject remains in the frame. The AI processing unit can even differentiate between multiple subjects having different postures and recognition of individual faces so that tracking reliability is achieved in challenging situations such as when a subject’s face is tilted, in shadow, or backlit
8. The Product Showcase Setting includes an AF tracking switch that allows for consistent bokeh levels between the product and the subject, even when switching between different subjects.
9. The Intelligent 3 Capsule Microphone captures clear audio, including the voice of your main subject. Depending on your shoot, you can set the microphone’s directivity to Front, Rear, All Directions, or Auto18. The camera also includes a Multi-Interface (MI) shoe with a digital audio interface and mic and headphone jacks offer expanded audio capabilities.
2. Sony FX30 advantages over ZV-E10
10. Devil lies in details: Why sometimes having a higher resolution APS-C sensor, is better than a lower resolution Full frame sensor. Sony FX30 does 26 MP Oversampling to produce exceptional 4k in details, so you have to understand this the Sony FX30 camera uses 26MP resolution to generate 4K files and the Sony ZV-E1 uses a 12MP sensor to generate 4K files, now if you are working in the controlled light environment the Sony FX30 4k (file will showoff more details of a given scene compared to Sony ZV-E1 12MP 4k files. But that also depends on several factors like the type of lenses used and the light environment.
Sony FX30 camera is built for professionals, in the ZV-E1 camera u do get excellent hardware inside, but the controls are simplified for beginners and you will miss a lot of features, that were maybe essential for your workflow.
11 . TIME CODE: We have TIME CODE in the Sony fx30 camera, a time code functionality that is highly important for the synchronization of multiple cameras during a professional shoot. Time code is like a special signal generated along with the video reels that help find a specific moment or two to sync two or more two different videos seamlessly without any error.. It’s called SMPTE because the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers made it.
11. You get 16 BIT RAW via Full-Size HDMI: The second thing and of course the most important is 16-bit RAW output which is not possible with the Sony ZV E1 camera which is made for content creators
12. No Overheating in Sony FX30: The next BIG thing that you may miss in ZV-E1, is the external fan. The Sony FX 30 camera features an external fan so you don’t have any overheating issues. The biggest problem is Sony has trimmed down the cooling system of the Sony A7 S3 camera and we have a very weak heat sink unit in the new ZV E1 camera so if you are living near the equator or in Asian countries with variable weather conditions summers are very hot temperature raises to 40-degree centigrade so in that situation if you shoot outdoors like you are a travel blogger or you are a wedding cinematographer like to use your camera mostly outdoor then you have to be very careful before buying the Sony zv E1 camera
CROPS
- The much more significant crop comes in 120p mode, where the camera crops in to a 3840 x 2160 region of the sensor, giving a 1.62x crop.
- While using 4k UHD @ 120fps in ZV-E1 you have to face 10% crop

Sony ZV-E1 vs Sony A74 – let’s have a deeper drive and find out which camera is best for you. The biggest advantage associated with the Sony 74 camera is its body design.
Also, see – Sony ZV-E1 vs Sony FX30
BODY DESIGN
If you are a photographer and doing a long photography assignment that will take approx 3 to 4 hours or maybe you are a kind of wedding photographer or event shooter in those specific scenarios you need to have a camera that perfectly fits in your hand and you feel very comfortable to hold. In those specific situations when you have to work for a very long period Sony A74 camera body design is super perfect without a single doubt. When u have an extra slim camera in ur hand u have to balance it always feels like ur losing the grip. So, for photographers, it’s very important to select a camera with the perfect body design.
- Sony ZV-E1 Best Lenses for Content Creators – B&H Store | Amazon.com
- Sony ZV-E1 Best Lenses for Cinematographers – B&H Store | Amazon.com
Sony ZV-E1 camera is more compact, has a sleek body without any electronic viewfinder, and also the grip is very similar to the entry-level APS-C bodies. So, it is made like to be placed in a gimbal or a selfie stick to record the videos perfectly. The Intention of the design is not favorable for photographers, there yes you can click some occasional pics but it is not made for that.
MORE RESOLUTION = MORE DETAILS
Another Major advantage associated with the Sony A74 camera is the higher resolution 33-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. If you are a photographer you feel very limited while using a 12-megapixel full-frame sensor and snapping pics. if you have to do a digital crop the 12-megapixel image will not allow you to do that.
The Biggest advantage that I feel in using a higher resolution camera is that you get more and more details while zooming ( @100 % scale) if you are a pixel-peeper. if you like to see more details in a given frame of a scene, it’s highly recommended that photographers use your higher resolution sensor instead of having a lower resolution as we have in the Sony ZE-V1 camera
BEST CAMERA FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Design-wise and based on the type of sensor being used inside both the camera it’s highly recommended that if you are a photographer you should go with a Sony A74 camera at the same time if you are more into videography if you are more into content creation and you shoot occasionally few pics you can use the Sony ZV-E1 camera. Yes, you can use your A74 camera as a backup camera for shooting your pics. but it cannot be used as a primary photographic tool if you are into professional work out there.
BEST CAMERA FOR RECORDING VIDEO
In the video part without having a single doubt in your head you should pick Sony’s latest ZV-E1 camera.
The reason behind that the camera can shoot for case 60 frames per second without any crop whereas we all know with the Sony is A74 camera, we have to face APS-C crop, or if you say with some butter that we are shooting in a super 35 mm format while using A74 in 4k 60p mode,
With Sony ZV- E1 camera we do not have any of such used even the camera allows you to suit 4K 120 FPS maybe the firmware update which is about to arrive in June 2023 the cost you a bit that’s another matter but you can suit 4K 120 happiest with only 10% crop which is not similar to the A7 4K 60p super 35 mm all that crop.
now the other biggest advantage that you will enjoy in Sony’s latest ZV-E1 camera is the introduction of a dedicated artificial intelligence chip that was the first scene in Sony’s A7 are 5 camera announcement now the chip has been improved to perform better functionality at the same time new features also being introduced inside this camera.
Overall if you are into content creation videography cinematography in any way you are associated with a video you must buy the latest Sony Z1 camera instead of the Sony is 74

Sony finally announced the V-E1 camera, the camera features the same sensor as we have seen in the Sony A7S III camera. However, we do have some limitations like 4k 60p video limited to 30 m, no limit in 4k 30p mode. The New Auotframin is being used inside the camera. Let’s talk some basic specs, ISO 80-102,400 with an extended ISO 80-409,600 range, 15+ stops of dynamic range, and a beautiful, cinematic bokeh for photo stills and video.

Canon R50 vs Sony A6400 – Before we begin I must clarify with you guys one thing Canon R50 is much more affordable than Sony A6400. The perfect competitor based on the price range of the Sony A6400 is the Canon R1 camera. But since I am getting a lot of user requests to compare the two (Canon R50 versus Sony A6400) So I am doing this comparison. But again price wise we do have a good difference between the two for entry-level users.
Body design – Sony A6400
Sony A6400 camera features a compact weather-sealed Mirrorless body and a bit smaller handgrip than what you might see in the Carbon R50 camera. The EVF placement of the Sony A6400 camera is also on the extreme left side rather than in the center as we see on Canon and even in Sony’s professional range of cameras.
The other main issue a photographer or vlogger may face with the Sony A6400 camera is the older menu system and a display screen with limited movements. None of these issues can be found in the Canon R50 camera. We have a full touchable menu design and very easy to use it also, other than that we have a vari-angle display screen.

Both cameras use FSI Sensors (Front side illuminated sensors), so the tech both cameras using not that new BSI or Stacked etc., and to be noted that the resolution of both the camera is exactly the same.
As you can see we do have a slight difference in the image quality, with Sony A6400 preserving slightly more details. So, you can manage it with bright lenses or with the help of external light. (Reason we have used Canon R10 here is Canon R10 and Canon R50 share the same sensor and the Canon R50 same not available yet)

EFCS vs Electronic vs Mechanical Shutter
Since both of the cameras use FSI APS-C CMOS sensors, the sensor readout speed isn’t as great as that of BSI Stacked or Stacked CMOS sensors we see in professional-level cameras, and stacked CMOS sensors have very high readout speed that rolling shutter effect almost nonvisible.
But, the readout speed isn’t that fast, in Canon R50 or in Sony A6400. So, it’s highly recommended to use EFCS (Electronic first or front curtain shutter). So, the Maximum shooting speed we recommend for Canon R50 is 12 FPS (with EFCS) to avoid a rolling shutter and with Sony A6400 u don’t have such issues so you can freely use top mechanical shutter speed up to 11 FPS. Since with Mech shutter, we don’t have such issues.

Which one is better for Recording video, Sony A6400 or Canon R50?
If we compare the video capturing ability of both cameras, then for sure I will prefer Canon R50 more due to its 10BIT Video capturing ability. Although the 10 BIT video is limited HDRPQ mode, as you know when ur using an 8-bit camera we are bounded into limitations even if you are allowed to have access to log profiles.
A 10-bit image can display up to 1.07 billion colors, while an 8-bit photo can only display 16.7 million. So, if u have the option when u can have a camera with 10 BIT output, you must grab it without having a second thought in your brain.
Sony vs Canon Lenses 2023
If you are able to find your usable lenses in Canon RF Mount is completely ok, you can go with it. We already discussed the published Best Lenses for Canon R50 Camera here you can check it out. At Sony, we do have a massive range of lenses from third-party lens makers too.

Without a doubt, we have to say the AF system of Canon is better compared to Sony since Sony A6400 is a 4+ years old announcement and lacks eye AF in 4K video mode as well as dedicated 3D AF object tracking mode is also missing.
For general-purpose work, both Camera AF system is completely ok. But, when ur about to shoot sports or record video it’s more important to use a Canon R50 camera instead of the Sony A6400.

Verdict: Despite of being a 4-year-old announcement Sony A6400 is an amazing option even in 2023 with balanced core specification and an open lens mount. If u like to buy a Canon R50 camera, kindly find out the lenses available for Canon R50 before you make the decision. If the lenses you need are available then you can go with them. For sports and wildlife shooters it’s more recommended to have a higher-end model like Canon R10.
