And Jesus, do you guys ever get tired of re-stating the same tired arguments about a camera you don\'t give two shits about in the first place? It\'s mind-numbing.
edit: A camera most of you have never seen in person or handled, I might add.
it\'s a thread asking if we have any thoughts about the new camera. thoughts about the new camera have been stated again since the OP obviously missed them in the first two threads. actually it is a camera i give two shits about because pentax was my last hope to produce a decent mirrorless camera with IBIS. since they didn\'t, i\'ve lost all hope in such a product and am a bit miffed. it\'s not like we\'re tied to our other camera brands here and only bring up others so we can disparage them. most of us are waiting for somebody (anybody!!!) to come out with the mirrorless camera we really want and this pentax most definitely isn\'t it. instead its a camera that only appeals to a small subjection of the already small subsection of the camera market that already owns pentax autofocus lenses.

i\'m talking about the business aspect because i don\'t have anything to say about the camera for my own personal use other than that it is useless for me. if i\'m going to talk theoretically about how it could be useful to somebody, i might as well talk about what would have been better way to serve most everyone. i\'d like pentax to succeed because in dslrs i like their ergonomics better than everybody else, they use IBIS, and they make lens designs i like. that doesn\'t mean i\'m going to have anything positive to say about a product that isn\'t very well designed.
\"Well designed\" seems to be a matter of opinion and because it\'s useless for you does not mean the same goes for me.
true, but can you honestly not think of at least two obvious easy things to change that would make the camera much better?
And keep the price low? No, I honestly can\'t.
