If you would have said the D750/D780 which from the get go are inferior cameras with no IBIS, accelerator chip, astro-tracer and limited backwards compatibility with older lenses, no pixel shift would have been cool. Even the way things are right now, I don't want one of those cameras, at any price. So how would using them as example improve the clarity of your point?
One of the biggest flaws in forum discussion is people going on as if some other camera was the greatest thing since sliced bread, ignoring what they have with Pentax that they'd give up if they got one. If they value what the other brand has to offer, then they should go for it, no sweat off my back, but that means you don't value what's unique about Pentax. Which means nothing you say has any value to those of us who do value what Pentax has to offer.
Pentax doesn't need to compete with cameras that don't have the Pentax feature set.
They only have to compete with cameras that have the features I want. People are always comparing K-new vs D-750 or D500 or whatever, yet none of those cameras have the Pentax feature set. Comparisons are meaningless. I wouldn't buy one in place of my K-3, and I certainly won't buy one in place of the K-new, so of what relevance are they?
If the K-new approaches the D750 in FPS, buffer size and other performance, it will be the far superior camera because of all the features Nikon doesn't support. So there should be no problem if it's priced a little higher. To me an Pentax with 10 fps and a 100 shot buffer, and an incremental improvement in AF makes a D750/D780 a piece of junk, because I use those unique Pentax features and a camera that doesn't have them is just not as useful a camera for my shooting style.
