>hardly any fast lenses, and most of them are old film era designs that are not sharp wide open or will need AF microadjustment right out of the package>lots of kit lens tier lenses that are all pretty shitty>body-side AF can't predict subject movement for shit, so continuous AF is worthless>autofocus lenses from as recent as 10 years ago still use 1970s screwdrive technology, so even if the body could predict movement, the lenses couldn't keep up>most of their "premium" lenses use a type of autofocus motor that is known for failure right after the warranty runs out (pentaxians will point out that the lenses can be converted to screwdrive, as if that's a good thing)>only telephoto options are a shitty, slightly upgraded kit lens and their highest end lenses which cost $1000 minimum and they all use the AF motor that fails after about 2 years of use>the controls on the bodies are very peculiar, you get a single button press to control a weird P-hyper mode, but it takes 4-5 button presses to turn the Q menu (rear LCD) on or off>if you do any menu-diving or image review, the short battery life will be depleted in about 10 minutes or less>top LCD doesn't show white balance>brand has been bought out twice in the digital era, and current parent company has no profits and no money, is about to go out of business>most users have an unusual, religious-like fervor about the brand, insisting that the ability to carry a camera through the rain is unique to Pentax and a dealbreaker for a DSLR system, even though most of the best K-mount lenses, like the DA and FA Limiteds, are not weather-sealedBoth Nikon and Canon make far better cameras and have far more functional systems. For that matter, so does Sony, and Fujifilm has effectively surpassed them in regard to functionality and doing many of the things that Pentax does, better than Pentax does them, like compact primes with high end build quality.
