I was rather sceptical at first but I think this will attract a lot of people .... users' reviews will come in soon.
just have to wait and see what's in store in the future because I am not quite ready to let my K5 and K3 go .... just yet!
I think maybe the K-3 was a bigger launch for Ricoh, as it was during a time when Nikon had not launched the D500 and itchy Nikonians were wanting a D300s successor (that was almost a decade in waiting)..
If you remember back then, we saw a few Nikonians come aboard, but it seems like the K-3 didn't make lasting waves .. the fanfare died down shortly and the K-3 was just another nice DSLR on the market. So I would be hesitant to board the hypetrain just yet.
Sensor performance with ISO handling looks nice though.. but this is a solid, iterative step for Ricoh. I don't see it as a gamechanger that will cause many people to drop their current gear and climb aboard the K mount train.
