I think Pentax would sell more cameras if they where more generous with the updates for a long time after the replacement was ready. It would be a very positive way to differentiate Pentax from the rest. Just like Tesla does in the automotive industry.
If the K-1 had been a Tesla, there would only be 5 in private hands, but with lots of noise and promises on how great the future of the K1 is.
In a day or so we will see what all the fuss has been about. The K1 is selling better than expected so maybe a lack of parts is behind the upgrade. Since they had to upgrade it anyway, why not add a few improvements that had already been developed? The actual release of the K1 was much delayed for reasons beyond Ricoh's control. So design wise it is not that new.
Does anyone know what the words
"wireless sync" mean in the section on flash specs? I profess ignorance of modern flash systems. Flash photography is something I rarely engage in. I am still stuck in the old auto thyristor days. They work good enough for my use.
