Sadly, the silly DPR thread is locked, as I felt compelled to make a rare DPR forum post. Oh well. So, for the satisfaction of the
forwarding party, consider this alternate 'thesis'. If Canon and Nikon both left the DSLR market altogether that would leave Pentax
as the sole player and would thus put Pentax in a very strong position considering the number of photographers who prefer the
benefits of a DSLR. There are many Canon and Nikon shooters who like what Pentax offers but haven't switched because they
already have an investment in their chosen mount. What better way to force their hand than to take away their chosen platform
and force them not only to adopt a new mount but a mirrorless body to boot.
As for the rumor........, the answer is out there, with a little effort and google. Someone nicer than I will probably do the leg work
to find a link.
