Not even once, you should have made movements straight after the release of the k5, everyone now knows it takes you too long to deliver anything.

You probably didn't hear about the K-1 and the K-70 coming out last year and trumping all over landscape and studio cameras. Yes, an APS-C trumping and pissing over FF landscapers with a simple software utility of the sensor shift stabilization.

K70 has nothing new, k1 was 4 years too late, you have no lens, ltd lenses are crazy soft.

Does anyone have the drawing with a kid trying to steal a pentax to another kid and in the end they cry together because it's a pentax? It's a shitty drawing i was used to see on this board a lot

Those are great specs if confirmed (except for AF, I have my doubts here) but aesthetics are shit imo, looks like a retarded plastic toy, and this is coming from a Pentax user. K3's look is vastly superior, especially for the gun metal version.

Yup, I agree. A Silver Edition K-3 is much more retro than this and the Df combined
Just look at it.
Still specs wise I can see a bright future for the next flagship 3-line APS-C camera. This looks more like a retro styled K-70II

Also on the AF, the K-3 Af is spot on and if RICOH keeps it's word for improving the tracking algorithm it can be a winner. Maybe even they release a firmware update for the K-3 line for improved AF tracking like with the KAF4 update.

That's literally nothing we haven't seen before in other cameras.

And it's Pentax's biggest problem - they make solid cameras, but they can't generate interest because they're always second, always late.

What a shame. I thought Pentax would maybe step up this year.

They should just quit and go back to making compacts and MF bodies.

You know, even 7D II has 10 fps, still less than few mirrorless cameras. Because not having a mirror makes it easier you know.

Pentax makes very competent and cost-efficient DSLRs. The only area where they suck is video, but video DSLRs are a passing phase anyway.

They don't advertise much and don't make high-end professional gear or innovative stuff that makes the news, so they mostly fly under the radar, but if you need a solid enthusiast system with no lolpro aspirations, they're a better choice than Canikon imo.

It's not a K-1000 or ME Super but if the light meter works you will have a lot of fun shooting with it. It has program mode for no thrills fun shooting.

I agree, the K3s look so much better. They should have made the pentaprism NOT stick out to the front. And lower the PENTAX plate a little so it doesn't look like a huge forehead on those tiny limited lenses. I don't understand why it's so fucking huge when the actual pentaprism hardly protrudes any higher than the viewfinder, and not at all to the front. I'm not saying it should be a flat box up there, the triangle-shape is actually quite pleasing, but it shouldn't have that typical DSLR pentaprism lip. Looks really dumb on a "retro" style camera with small lenses.

Good luck fitting on any lens bigger than a babby prime. I'm sorry but yours is much worse.

It's a retro design. Form over function but the KP has much much less compromise than a Df
