It's equally true for Canon, Nikon and Olympus (it's OMD now).
Originally posted by Jean Poitiers And really, the AKM fire has nothing to do with the lack of Pentax R&D and new product development. That's an easy excuse, like saying "the dog ate my homework".
Now, that's complete nonsense. There's the K-3iii, there's the DA* 16-50 PLM, the D FA 21 Limited - that's only what we were told about. I'd like to see more, but to say "lack of" as if they're doing nothing... that's complete nonsense.
And having a Beagle, "the dog ate my homework" is a valid excuse.
Originally posted by Jean Poitiers And you have got to be kidding for Canon and Nikon ... "ZERO"s ... really.
It's a fact.
Originally posted by Jean Poitiers Yes. I am being very, very harsh on Ricoh/Pentax management. As we all should be ... to get them of their dead butts.
At the same time, I bet you wouldn't want people to be as unreasonable with you like you are with Ricoh/Pentax management.
What you're doing, the effect would be zero in the best case, possibly negative. It's just venting after all. The carrot works - the stick doesn't.
