Any information I release is obtained from dealers or relevant employees. Of course, it will not be first-hand information. But when I learn an info from one channel, I will go to other channels to verify it, rather than spreading it out at the first time.
Even when I know some specific details, when I release, I will choose to blur or avoid it at all. Ricoh strictly controlled this kind of information after the KP incident. If I release all the content directly, it will affect many people.
For asahiman's info, I consulted some people who had some information. I was told that most of asahiman's info are obtained through crawler scripts. Now Ricoh has taken many protective measures against crawler scripts, so asahiman's message reliability is not high.
As for the future news, I have mentioned some in some threads.
High credibility:
The preparation of DFA21 has entered the final stage. My personal interpretation is that within one to two months.
After GR3X is released, the next one is GR3M and the next one is 645.
Medium:
The new DFA Limited in planning.
A new FF project has begun.
Low:
The planning of APSC has ended, and K-3III and DA*1650 are the end of Pentax APSC era.
There is an intention to develop a new 645 lens
Incidentally, some interesting facts can be said: Ricoh obtained Panasonic's video coding and Olympus's anti shake technology through patent exchange —— but it seems to have nothing to do with Pentax.
Sorry, but anyone can say anything on the Internet
You had/have some good info, he had/have some good info.
You too aren't 100% accurate - which is to be expected, unless you stay quiet until the press releases are distributed to dealers 2 days before the launch. A good part of what you say can't be easily verified.
Pentax stopping APS-C is hard to believe, for example. Yes, you're marking it as "low".
So, why should I start distrusting asahiman?
The problem with asahiman is that he doesn't specify the level of confidence he has in a certain piece of info, and sometimes it's difficult to differentiate leaks from opinion.
At least part of it is the language barrier.
The problem with you is that you're trying to replace asahiman
But you don't have to. There's plenty of room on this forum.
