Originally posted by Rico The K-1 and now K-1MKII still have the edge over S N and C as they deliver the best image quality most especially when using Pixel-Shift.
Customers are leaving because:
- they don't rely on pixel shift as any tiny movement is problematic for it to provide superior resolution
- and the lack of prime lenses that they need
- auto-focus
- speed of operation / buffer
I can give three examples of forum members who left Pentax, no counting the PF member who quietly sold their K1 system in the market place..
Please give me pseudo-names of 3 new Pentax customers who came from S, or C or N in last quarter of 2018.
Originally posted by Rico The timing of the K-1 was dependent on the timing of the development.
Yes, correct , and customers don't care about how long it takes to develop a new camera, customer look at options in the market and select what they want. It's not the job of customer to wait for the camera maker to deliver, it's up to the camera maker to deliver the product customer want to buy at the time they want to buy. Imagine you are thirsty, you order a bottle of water but the water company comes back with water the next day after you already got water some someone else.. too late. Timing is very important in business, timing is even more important that details of the product. Pentax customers are patient customer, they wait, but they don't wait two years for having a lens, come on!
