Why is this a question? If the camera you have is sufficient for your needs at present, and you're not certain yet that you need anything different, then I don't understand the desire to discuss these things that are of no significance, like Pentax marketing strategies. You might as well just enjoy using what is working well. Deliberate on the question of the future when it is salient and significant because you need new equipment. Otherwise, your interest in the discussion is, indeed, more emblematic or theoretical than practical ... to return to my original thesis. > I know we, as a group, go round and round. probably unprofitably. > The DSLR > market is of course evolving and no once can tell for sure where's it > heading. Nor is 'where it is heading' of any particular significance. I am interested in and buy camera equipment to do photography with, not to worry about where the development of equipment is headed. What I require of the equipment is that it performs the function I expected of it when I purchased it.
