Not a bad idea. Apple could buy Pentax (in fact the whole of Ricoh) out of their loose change. They have about US $180 billion in cash sitting around doing nothing at the moment.
A white 645Z with an Apple logo on it (i645?) would be cute.

The only Pentax product that would fit into the Apple line would be the Q-family; merging an iPhone with a Q-S1 would make the Q barely discernible!

And to those who complain about having the words "Ricoh" clearly visible on a Pentax camera .... once Apple got done you'd have a hard time finding the Pentax name at all.

What about a cooperation between Apple and Ricoh?

How about "Apple buys both Ricoh AND Canon!!"?

[davidsladek]

the only thing I can imagine going through this channel is a professional care service for the U.S. or full availability of Pentax / Ricoh branded products at some major U.S. retail chain

I asked Google images and it will not happen.

[stevebrot]

Maybe they are moving more into photography in general

Which is why they discontinued aperture

Thats actually a Norwegian Pentaxianer *An Apple a day , keeps the doctor away? *

This is why this place is so entertaining. Some guy that nobody knows makes a claim about "ground breaking" technology making history and 24 pages later Apple owns the world.

Ground breaking is a big statement, and I doubt we see anything really ground breaking. Olympus already had pixel shift, so you can rules that out. Making history is a lot easier to do. Some people make it by doing great things. Some people do it by doing stupid things, so he could make history.

Haha, yes. I wonder how many more pages we'll generate between now and 6

Adam is solely responsible for all this fuss. ;-)

How about a iWatch Trigger for a Pentax DSLR...

[rzarector]

New GR is my guess. Something about the new sensor shift tech. Maybe a new piece of glass or two.

GR- better guts, evf (I can dream, but doubt it) perhaps and EVF attachment you can plug into a hot shoe like thing that does video? more manual style controls like you have seen on Fuji x100 line.

Or just an announcement about using a sony sensor on the FF and some more FF specs.


who knows...

[kenspo]

I know when the GRII arrives etc..But as mentioned earlier, neither me or Ricoh in Europe know what this announcement is about..
