People don't switch so easily because of the cost of switching when invested in a mount.

Originally posted by RonHendriks1966 I really think that having an incomplete sales channel is a bigger problem in the end.
That's the number one bottleneck for Pentax, whatever they design new, the sales pipe is so narrow that they never get any big leverage on a successfully differentiated camera design. It worse that channel presence, there is nearly no education about the products. Overhere, I can't ask anything about Pentax products, the sales persons know less than me the lens portfolio of Pentax. For example, I asked them if Pentax has any lens longer then 450mm of the DFA150450, and the sales guy said "no there is nothing available in Pentax mount" which is not true (he could have said": yes there is a DA560 f5.6). However, if I asked about Sigma he said "Oh yes, there is". Pentax education is so dismal, any other brand can compete without much commercial effort, and Fuji does it easily.
