I just don't understand why those who have decided Pentax is not for
them continue to whine about it day after day. It's particularly self
defeating for those who must have full frame. All indications seem to
say that we won't see that from Pentax or, for that matter, Nikon. I
don't hear Cotty complaining about Pentax. He knew what he wanted and
went out and got it. I didn't mean to imply that users of other digital
brands should leave the list. I meant that they should act on their
beliefs and quit complaining.

Not saying you, but why do some seem to put this on the same plane as
religious denomination?
Even if I purchase another system in the future, the Pentax would stay
in the family until it's no longer functional. And then I've got the
67 which I'll either use voraciously or not be able to buy film for or
get readily available processing (in the selection I wish).

It sounds like you've already decided where to put your money, so get
on with it. Obviously no one here is going to change your mind.
Pentax obviously can't produce new models at a pace that will satisfy
you. You've made that clear. Move on.

Paul,
My comments are with regard to Pentax as a brand in general, what
they are offering, and where they are going, in comparison with the
market competition. Did I ever say that 'Pentax produces a product
that gives inferior results', or name a Pentax camera and state it
produces bad results? Never have those words left my mouth or my
fingertips.
I sincerely don't think there's any bashing going on. Yes, I am
unhappy with Pentax because they are so slow to bring new offerings
to market, and offerings that are on a par with their competition
(spec-wise) in a time-frame that actually allows them to compete.
I'm unhappy because they seem to want to play the low-end and very
high-end of the market (assuming there's a 645D that's too expensive
to justify).
The slowness, in general, does not bode well in today's market place.
I'm not evaluating any particular model of camera. I'm looking at it
from a 'deciding where to put future money' standpoint.
Tom C.
Hmmm. In all fairness your negative comments are confined largely
to cameras you don't own or use. That's more like bashing than
valid evaluation. But bash on. I find it all somewhat amusing.
