Pentax fails completely with video options. Everyone is buying canon, sony,
panasonic because they need to shoot video and stills with one system.
The good thing about Pentax is that a technically proficient photographer can
get extremely good image quality out of the system.
The bad thing about Pentax is that it takes a technically proficient
photographer to get decent image quality.
The worse thing about Pentax is that the UI designers are dedicated to making
grossly overpriced point and shoot cameras and do everything they can to get in
the way of the technically proficient photographer.
Frankly, I think this is horse doodoo. Granted some of the menu options
are more than a little opaque in what they do, with the owner's manual
not doing much to quell the confusion. This usually is easily overcome
with an internet linked device and a search engine.
Otherwise the control layouts are good, the menus are easily navigated
and for the most part make sense, and the cameras now at least function
adequately in either automatic or manual modes.
Granted the pre Ricoh cameras needed a lot of assistance in the let's
make a picture department, but now they seem to work the way they should.
I consider myself to be at least passingly proficient, and don't find
the cameras at all get in my way.
