Originally posted by totsmuyco I'm a little tired of speculating on what's next. The trend says mirrorless but, it's still not that great to me. I've looked into Fuji, Olympus and Canon EVFs and I'm really not happy. The view is so fake. The colors are over emphasized not giving the natural view. Panning a mirrorless camera also makes me dizzy. I guess if that's the future I have to have a hard time learning to like it. I guess it's just the size and weight that I like.
Despite Canikon, I firmly believe one component of "the future" is high ISO, that higher ISO capability will be more important than wide smallest aperture in capturing indoor sports, for example. With the KP and K-1, Pentax has given every indication of going down that route - Canikon has not. If you look at the recent DxOMark scores, Canikon cameras, even the newest ones, are way down the list, while Sony and Pentax dominate the first positions. Canikon users still think in terms of "wide constant aperture" lenses when they make recommendations - but that is the past.
note: in a recent exchange, a Canon user pointed out to me that the 1DXii costs over $5000, much more than an f/2.8 lens; I responded by noting that the K-1 does better than the 1DXii on the DXoMark's "sports" test {which is really a high ISO test} and costs less than $2000. Pentax obviously would have to work on focusing to get much attention {unless people are willing to go to even higher ISO values so they can get "comfortable DOF"}, but they're on the right road here.
