Although I'd agree with you over and over any other day of the year, their swift move yesterday has convinced me to future-spend $550 on a camera I'm already over the moon about. So that's a price higher than any other camera body I've ever bought, for something I already love.
We Pentaxians seem like a pretty stingy bunch, and they've found a way to squeeze a few more coins out of us with us being happy about it. Pretty stellar little idea there!
Now if they'd only wake up to the power of social media, empower their current brand ambassadors to get on the megaphone about the PK system, and bring in a small team of new brand ambassadors from a wide array of photo genres, well, then they'd be approaching a sensible 2010s strategy.
