Originally posted by Asahiflex Yes, back at that time the hugely successful Espio compact camera series paid for the enormous (compared to today's standards) Pentax SLR system. Nowadays the Optio series of digital compacts hardly earns any money, so the DSLR system has shrunk to the bare minimum.
That's why they need to sell shitloads of K-x and K-r cameras. The more the better! Only then a bigger system will come.
True.
Still from what I've read so far:
1. Tethering, Pentax Japan has been told and has acknowledged, that it is.
2. Manual video, as above.
3. DFS well seems they have listened here finally :P
4. Flash system, still no explanation as to why the 1/180 limit and if it will change, for those of us who like been strobists, that is a bit of an issue.
