I think this is a very brave move by Pentax. I don't understand: if they have the guts to produce this system, they should have the guts to go into FF.
A very new idea and hope Pentax can carve out a new piece in digital camera and profit from it.
The only serious problem with it is the price, at $800 this is seriously too expensive. It should start at $400~$450 to make it a system people could try out. At $800, there are simply too many competition out there.
Oh boy.... I have never been so worry about Pentax survival since I bought into Pentax!
I do hope.... the sale in Japan will be enough to make it a successful system!
Now I know where the money that suppose to go into improving video in Pentax dSLR camera went though...
