They are first going to concentrate on lower-end cameras. They haven't even begun to set design parameters for a hi-end camera and said nothing about FF. If you want FF please switch back to Canon sir. Non-professionals want small and light which is what they are going to be concentrating on as is also stated in the interview. Good. That's what the majority wants. No more of this regressive FF silliness please. It's getting lame and tiring. Your advocacy of non-APS-C sensors is doing a massive disservice to people who are coming here for knowledgeable advice and causing them to buy out-of-date lenses for reasons that will not happen anytime in the foreseeable future. This interview confirms that. Not your delusions.
I appreciate your good business sense. I also appreciate your passionate stance in regards to the APS-C sensor format. I also am quite impressed with your forthright honesty. In fact your diatribe makes quite a bit of sense. But what I do not appreciate is being called delusional. What I do for a living is not delusional. It is a very concrete reality that I have done for over twenty five years. If I wish to speculate on where Pentax may be going in the future, that is a luxury I can afford for myself. It is called forward thinking. Some of the greatest science fiction writers have had a major influence on the development of very real and functioning technologies. If you wish to classify them as delusional, that is your prerogative. I will just say this, it might more more constructive to keep the dialogue civil and openly positive. Yes, I am childlike. Thank God for that. If I were not, I probably wouldn't be doing what I am doing today.
Just one more tidbit. I did not read in to the interview. I added an addendum based on what was expressed to me. So please don't shoot the messenger. When I sited that information, I took the liberty to pass some of it on to the Pentax users here. What I did add were the metaphors.
Here is a quote from the interview...
"The next logical step, in order to expand product portfolio, is highend machines, and we are definitely following that."
Thanks...
