Originally posted by maxfield_photo I think a Pentax full frame inevitably would steal a few Canon and Nikon shooters, and maybe a few from Sony as well. Look at how well the K-5 did at attracting experienced photographers from other brands who were looking for something just a bit different than the other brands.
I fully agree, I have gears both from Pentax and Sony (and Minolta), I have never had any SLR gears from Canon or Nikon, and will not have either.
In my opinnion, the easyest way to encrease Pentax owners group is to make more interesting cameras than Sony. Sony do not have that image as Minolta had, which is actually a sad thing. Sony is known as a high end camcorder producer for pros, just like Canon and may be also Panasonic, but that don't have any positive affect on Sonys dslr image, not at least in my mind.
So, actually I'm waiting for both Pentax and Sony to introduce a new body for my present and new lenses, lets see which one will succeed to get my money
