Pentax k 3 mark iii monochrome vs pentax kf?

The two bodies share a lot. Both are Pentax DSLRs on the Pentax K mount, both have an APS-C sensor and in-body stabilisation, and both can use the same lenses. The K-3 Mark III Monochrome has 25.7 megapixels and was announced in 2023. The KF has 24.2 megapixels and came out in 2022. The big difference is the Monochrome's sensor, which records only black and white. If you don't already know you want that, the K-3 Mark III Monochrome is a specialist choice, and the KF is the more flexible camera.

Whichever body you pick, a lens will do more for your pictures. For an everyday kit, I'd start with the Pentax HD DA 16-50mm f/2.8 ED PLM AW, and for portraits the Pentax HD DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited. See your first camera for how to split the budget.
