Ruminating on the K-3 and the various reviews of the K-5 family of
cameras where the reviewer took off points for clunky ways to get into
video mode, (this was especially true of DPReview IIRC), I found myself
wanting to scream in the guy's face. "What is it about it being
primarily a "Still" camera that you don't get?" This little article
from Luminous Landscape makes covers most of my arguments, without the
Pending assault charges, though I think his plea for simplicity of
control might go a bit too far in the other direction, and having a
third dial dedicated entirely to ISO... Pushing a button and turning one
of the e-dials isn't all that onerous as long as the button is in a
convenient location.
NO Pentax content in the essay but hell half of us don't use Pentax as
our primary camera system anymore anyway.
