Originally posted by dcshooter The funny thing was, when the E-5 came out, it had been over 3 YEARS(!) since the E-3 had come out, and it was pretty much universally thought of as a disappointment by Olympus fans (myself included) who had been kept waiting so long and wanted something revolutionary. Furthermore, the company stated outright that it was pretty much abandoning 4/3 for m4/3. Yet the level of outcry and threats to abandon the brand by 4/3 users on the Olympus boards was nothing like I've seen here because Pentax simply decided not to do product announcements at CES.
Yes, well observed. Still, this dramaqueenesque attitude is so predictable in Pentax universe, I could make a good money betting on reactions. The "falling sky" and "Pentax is doomed" are already standard quotations in this habitat
The waiting for the never coming "flagship" is the story of this company, just the names change, be it Mz-1 or FF K-1*. The only thing that puzzles me is: are this always the same people, who just miss to learn a lesson (no - Pentax will NEVER be like Canon or Nikon) or is this a stage to which most tend to come, some do overcome it, some persist on it.
Nevermind
Edit: *Haha, just saw Ron is with with me here on this joke
