Originally posted by Wheatfield A number of us have noticed that it has no mirror, prism or viewfinder and are very concerned that this is the direction that Pentax is going to take. If Pentax continues to make DSLRs, and things like the K-01 are just sideshow acts, then fine, if they drop DSLRs in favour of things like the K-01, then not so fine. I see nothing wrong with sending Pentax a very strong message that things like the K-01 are not acceptable products, if things like the K-01 are not acceptable.
BTW, your example is pretty stupid.
But you knew that, since you can, apparently type and post on forums.
Amen.

Many of us have.
Originally posted by monochrome But don't tell me I'm stupid for wanting and liking the K-01. IMHO this is nothing more than spoiled children throwing a six week temper tantrum.
I really haven't seen many (any?) people bashing K-01 owners (TBF I'm not looking either), only people bashing the K-01 itself and/or Pentax's folly in producing two "alt" cameras while discontinuing 50% of their dSLR line and not even hinting that they are going to continue producing dSLRs.
The only childish fits I've witnessed, to date, have come from fanboys whose skin is too thin to read the honest opinions of those who don't share their unbounded exuberance over yet another not-an-upgrade release.
You know, I get jabs and cocked eyebrows simply for holding a camera with the word PENTAX on it. I don't let the opinions of those people worry me, or prevent me from shooting circles around them.
Originally posted by monochrome Ricoh will not allow Pentax to drop dSLR's and you should know that.
I hope your confidence of faith is well founded.
