The irritation comes simply from the KP being a very nice camera , but not the Apsc Flagship.
The K-1 appeared as the FF Flagship , and now we have the newly released K-1II being the Flagship for FF replacing the K-1.
The problem is that the Apsc K-3II Flagship is no longer in production and all we have is the KP that's a recent addition to the Apsc lineup to choose from.
NO recent Apsc Flagship !
I think maybe Pentax has forced Apsc Pentax Flagship seekers, to go for the KP and has squeezed the daylights out of its sales , and the Ageing K-3II for sales knowing there is nothing else to choose from at the moment......lol
Intentional marketing ? Accidental happening ? Who knows.
This is why I refer to it as being Held Hostage by Pentax !
Either get the K-3II that is aging and no longer in production , knowing something surely is better in the making.....OR.....Buy the KP that isn't a Apsc Flagship !
Hostage I say....Hostage !.....lol.
I made my choice and bought 2 KP's and will have to live with it for at least two years. Im still curious as to what is coming at Photokina.
