For me, it's not a matter of not getting the shots I want because of the
technology, though for sure a larger buffer/faster throughput could help
on rare occasions. It's a matter of "will Pentax be there for me down the
road?". You don't know, I don't know, we all don't know. It's not a
matter of whether current Pentax gear functions well or well enough. It's
a matter of "where will I spend future money?". At least that's that's
where I coming from.
Really, no one knows that with any of the manufacturers. In the mid 70's, I
put my eggs in Nikon's basket, by the mid 80s I was really regretting that
decision, and with the introduction of the F4, I knew Nikon had lost me as a
customer.
The EOS cameras up to now have all struck me as bloated pigs. They may make
fine pictures within their limitations, but if I am going to haul that much
weight around, it ain't gonna be a digicam whose imaging quality is marginal
at best, no matter who makes it.
