You said that you need to move on. So move on. Where is the problem? Do you consider yourself such an important figure in Pentax community that you need to write all this stuff? Do you believe that you will shock everyone by writing that you are going to change your system? Really, who cares?
Gear is gear. You buy it to get the job done, not to whine about it.
Quite so, but I have a certain amount invested in Pentax and it seems that I am going to have to throw that away along with any notion I had of sticking with a brand I had come to like for its colours, low light level performance and compactness.
I, in turn, am rather puzzled as to why you should accuse me of self aggrandisement, This is a Pentax forum where Pentax enthusiasts come to talk about the cameras. My post is an expression of leaving the general community of Pentax users in sorrow, but I guess there is a cultural divide somewhere here and you obviously think otherwise. Anyway, Isn't such a denouncement an expression of self importance itself?
