As a camera company, the only thing Pentax has to sell is a
particular aesthetic. (The "good small primes" thing is a
part of the aesthetic. So are the specifics of the in-camera
image rendering.)
Apple was at this point as a computer maker several times
throughout their company history after they'd run out of killer
apps. They made a monster comeback and have been responsible for
some of the most annoying trends in the world such as making rich
idiots buy janitor mobile colored Ferraris and the like plus
everyone thinks having their products is exclusive and so on and
so fort... may Pentax should look to them for lessons to be
learned Cheers Ecke
Of course Apple did it with innovation as well. The first practical
GUI interface, a music player that actually worked and a library to
go with it, and a phone that was truly smarter than the herd.
Exclusivity and product appeal aren't enough. There has to be
something real behind the veneer.
Apple stole the GUI from the same place Micro$oft eventually stole the
Windoze GUI from.
