Let's be honest, their "new, modernized camera" has very few better specs than a nearly 5-year old competitor, and in some instances like the RAW buffer, worse. Admittedly, this competitor also took a very long time to become available as an update to the previous body.
I must say, I am getting impatient for the release as I am one of their target market for this body, owning the DFA 150-450, so I may come across as bitter about any delays, if so, I apologise.
In hindsight (always 20/20
), I should have switched systems a long time ago, but now I feel we are so close to the finish line it would not make sense, hence my frustration.
However, we must have sympathy for the staff and engineers of Pentax who must be just as frustrated about this delay.
