Originally posted by Tonto The thing that was spot on is the spec numbers, 24MP vs 16MP / 51 AF points vs 11 AF points, we know it makes little difference (eg doesn't medium format just use 1 AF point?).
But this silly stuff sells cameras, even weight to someone who knows little ....
24MP vs 16 MP is not silly stuff. It is 50% more data delivered by the sensor of the same size. And it does matter a lot.
51 AF points also matters a lot because it allows muct better tracking AF. And this is the reason people buy Nikon camera instead of Pentax, even switching from Pentax to Nikon, because Pentax cannot cope with more demanding AF actions.
Really silly thing is not even your silly coment: it is the fact that Pentax knows all that, they know that more ambitious Pentax users are leaving the brand, and they do what about it?
