The K-new has been announced as applying image-processing at ISO 100 already.
It may mean nothing, though, if it is optional.
Originally posted by iheiramo Certainly not worth years of complaining on forum.
Who has been "complaining" for years?
I was initially 100% neutral.
Then I only suggested that not everyone will love a mandatory "accelerator unit"; I said that I would even use it myself sometimes.
Next, I provided arguments against the position that there is "nothing not to like". While it may be true that under many circumstances other effects will be stronger, it is undeniable that the "accelerator unit" has an effect that some find positive and others find detrimental, at least in some applications.
In all this, my intention is to hope for the best for Pentax.
Do I personally care what DPReview thinks about a Pentax camera? Not in the slightest.
Do I care if Pentax unnecessarily loses customers whether they make up their own mind against RAW baking or whether a sensationalizing article makes them turn their back? Yes, I do.
Is it necessary to lose some to win more?
It absolutely is not.
In summary, I'm someone who wants the best for Pentax and wants everyone to be happy with their choice, whether they are an "accelerator unit" lover or hater.
The result: I get comments mentioning "bordering obsession" and "years of complaining".
What is so difficult about letting someone else's view stand without attacking them?

Why bring it up then, again? I suggested to let it rest for the thread, but because it is getting too much exposure, it needs to be addressed again? In this thread?
I'm out.
