Originally posted by biz-engineer The problem I see with all those leaks and teasing and not so much anything else, it that people get more and more bored. I look at the number of Pentax forum members online, the number goes down and the duration of excitement gets shorter and shorter. The gear is already very good, but consumers are like taking drugs, in order to be excited they need higher and higher doses of spec improvements. In all of this thread, there is no single instance of a photographs, everyone is talking about specifications and if nobody is interested in photography and specifications are the only things that sell cameras. It's not really how I see photography.
Here-here Biz-Engineer! In the end it is always (or should be) about making and sharing better images. We already have vastly better IQ available to us than ever before, and comparing miniscule tech-spec wins or losses keeps one from shooting real images that define your vision and skill. I make a living with Pentax gear, have done so for 35 years, and I've never been happier. I'll be testing the K-1 Mk II side by side with the original K-1 in about two weeks and will share my impressions after that. Don't forget that we have superlative IQ at our fingertips, and for less money per camera body than Canon, Nikon and Sony... I'm proud to be an Ambassador for Pentax, and rarely check in on the Forum, as there's too much whining and not enough sharing of locations, tips, and usable insights. That's my take.
