... whatever camera Pentax was releasing today some people would of been unhappy. FF vs APS-C, high speed and fast AF, high resolution or high ISO performance, small body with great features and low price if possible.
Well, most of those are mutually exclusive or expensive to implement or not fully suported by existing lenses or have not enough prospective buyers and so on.
Not many seem to remember Nikon's position early 2006 after the new management took over and what kind of market share they had in 2005 - almost 16 points behind Canon (reminder:
IDC global camera and DSLR rankings for 2005-2006 - Photo.net Canon EOS Forum). First measure? D40 followed by D40X, and 6 months latter D3 and D300 ...
Whomever needs a change of system it's more than welcomed to do so but my feeling is that the next 18 months will be Pentax' best ever in the digital age.
