What upsets you about it? The end result is that Pentax released two new camera
models in an attempt to get their loyal adherents to upgrade to an expensive
new camera for a difference in quality that is very small and unlikely to be
realized or noticed by most users.
Considering there was not an earth-shaking difference between the 3 models is
that surprising?
Pentax was already discounting the K-5 by a huge margin. Now because they can
do hardly anything else they want to sell what are essentially K-5's at a
higher margin.

What bothers me is that it's a useless waste of electrons that didn't
really give me any more information than I had before. It was a waste of
20 minutes that I'll never get back but I kept reading just in case
there was some nugget of knowledge hidden in it that I couldn't have
figured out ahead of time without ever handling the camera. It bothers
me that the author didn't seem to know that it was a stopgap until the
K-3, (or whatever it will be called), with either a 24mp APS-C or FF
sensor is announced and seemed surprised that the imaging train hadn't
changed except for the lack of the afore mentioned filter. I sincerely
hope that it was a volunteer effort as it would offend me even more if
the author had been paid for producing it.
