My goodness I'm starting to get tired of all these people with agendas who can't stick to a topic. It's not about Video people, and the fact that someone mentioned a pentax camera is not an excuse to continue your endless whining and crying (and probably gnashing of teeth) about pentax video. There have been lots of threads about Pentax video, go to one and have at here. Hijacking every thread just males you seem like a bunch of one dimensional misfits.
Quote: On why Ricoh has lagged some competitors in video performance
“Video is not our number one priority. In most cases our customers are not primarily shooting video” with their cameras, Eguchi says.
Video users take note. Ragging on Pentax for their video implementation is pointless. Better video is not part of their strategy. Accept it and move on with your lives.
This article is released in Nov. of 2016, so 7 months after the release of the camera. There's absolutely no reason to think anything has changed. TO the OP, I know it's been stated that it was discussed before, but, I personally missed that discussion so thanks.
The title of the thread is
For each Pentaxian buying K-1 another Nikon/Canon shooter jumped ship to Pentax
Can you stick to the topic or can't you?
Your inability to understand how Pentax could sell to Canon and Nikon users without better video is noted, but, it's also noted, they accomplished that with existing video specs... so you have to a ask yourself, what is it Pentax knows that you don't? How is it possible that they have doubled their sales poaching from other brands, by ignoring video?
I'm not saying this because I want a discussion. I'm saying this because as far as i can tell it's proof Pentax understands the market they are aiming for. And that those demanding better video don't.
