So, can we get a consensus that if Pentax concentrated on improving
and fixing whatever bugs might exist in the MX-S -- we'd have a world
beater camera?
That's been an ongoing problem with many manufacturers, who keep
bringing out new cameras for their fickle public, and don't
concentrate on making what they have as good as it's possible to be.
With what the MX-S is now, seems to me it would meet a lot of real
photographer's needs if it was totally reliable and some quirks addressed.
Product improvement instead of a new product entirely!
I do get tired of folks wanting digital instead of glass.
No, that's not true. I am weary of those who want digital knocking
glass to the ground!
Both can exist. Why is a world beater digital any better than a world
beater glass camera?
You do use them for different things, they serve different markets...
So it seems to me.
