>>4481052Pentax does not give a shit about fuck. They aren't dedicated to anything. They tried and failed to keep pace with the market and now re-release shit and run on minimum effort.
>>4481055And you can't afford either because these are professional cameras that are mostly sold to forensics labs/museums/scientists/luxury brands product photographers rather than artists. Artists often find them sterile and in the "if i wanted that PITA i'd shoot film" category along with fuji GFX and digital hasselblad.
I know this might hurt you because of the /p/ brand wars, pixel peeping obsessions, "i have X and you dont, you stupid money wasting scammed cuck" specs fights, pancake lens shit aka more "i have ___ as an option and you dont cuck" consumerist slapfights, "bbbbut THE NEW PRICE AT BEST BUY" consumerist brand vs brand shitposts....
but sony, leica, and fuji are the only brands that have shown a consistent dedication to producing stills first cameras other than nikon, which did the Z7(II) which was pretty nice (no sports or video capability on that thing) but might not be followed up with anything good. Like how canon made the R5II even worse for stills. Because nikon has got on the pro work meta, and ALL actual pro work in photography that actually fucking pays is 50-90% videography even (especially) in journalism.
The fact that sonyfujileica are not technically perfect, not built like tanks, not the best value for the money, and have crappy jpeg engines in one way (color) or another (fine detail and demosaicing) should tell you something about most stills photographers.
They all shoot raw, buy used or buy rarely, and don't treat their gear like shit like a journalist would.
Oh and if sony didnt run the cinema line product stratification shit they wouldn't even have the a7r/rx1/a7c shit.
