My apologies for continuing with the off-topic, but I think this statement must be put into perspective:
Originally posted by Medium FormatPro Canon and Nikon will always lead above Pentax - there's two.
Sony and now even Sigma are clearly ahead of Pentax - even Sigma has a much clearer plan than Pentax.
As a matter of fact I'd place my chips on the "idea" that Sigma will release two more digital slr's well before Pentax does. Sigma will also clearly release a full frame digital slr before Pentax.
So there's four names that Pentax will never surpass.
Sigma is irrelevant on the
camera market, sure, they have a tiny little niche thanks to the Foveon sensors but that's all.
So far Sigma only launched 6 DSLRs (counting SD1 and SD1 Merill as separate cameras), while Pentax had 19 (K-5 II and K-5 IIs counted as one camera; see, I'm not doing Pentax any favors!). Take every Sigma camera, DSLR or not, and you still can't match Pentax' DSLRs.
Pentax is operating on a completely different, much larger scale and you're saying they are behind Sigma? In cameras?
Your bet is already lost.
On topic: I hope they'll be able to put the 1/1.7" sensor in the next Q (see VladimirYo's post above)
