I totally don't get why Pentax doesn't just publish a message on what they're working at? How difficult can it be to just inform your customers? I think doing this could potentially even draw in more customers.
"first priority is fixing this, this and this within one month"
"after that we will look into additional function like manual video and, and, etc. within 2 to 4 months"
etc. etc.
Are they stupid? they must read message boards like this and understand peoples frustrations and questions. Where is that new marketing manager?
A typical Japanese-thing not to tell what your working on till it's there? Or do you think they don't know themselves what they will be working on.
I'm wondering if there is anyone here who actually knows how many employees Pentax has for the development of new firmware. I always find these things to go incredibly slow. I would say that a pro software engineer should be able to program something like for example manual video within a week time, if not a day.
