I agree, I think mostly because it is competing directly with the K5 which, at basically the same price, bests it in a few areas.
The metal build would be nice - and having a real sensor dust reduction system as opposed to the pretend one on the k30......I was spoiled by Olympus SSWF dust reduction which is class leading, the K5 sounds like it does a good job with its own system.
These sensor shake ones are lame, and are close to useless, other than padding the spec sheet on the camera, which basically means Ill be buying $95 dollar glorified q-tips to clean this thing couple times a year
In reality, the build of this thing is damn nice, the only thing I wish it had was the K5s dust reduction system, but when the Pentax FF comes out in 2025
this will likely become my second body.
But all in all, this is a very well designed, well built, capable camera.
