Originally posted by monochrome Pentax openly stated in their interviews at CP+ they seek to attract their current, loyal users and recently departed users who might still have Pentax lenses with the upcoming release.
FWIW, posters who have more actual knowledge of the longer term plan (the outline of where Ricoh wants to take Pentax) say Ricoh is serious and the strategy is developed. In my opinon we really shouldn't expect Pentax to look anything like Canon, Nikon or Sony. Something else - maybe unique - but not directly competitive with the high volume business model.
@Monochrome, good point; I am not saying it as a fact.... I am referring the
perception in the eyes of those who are not Pentax conversant including reviewers as well. Just saying even if we have a product better than D81x, other people still think it is
less.... just saying that perceived value is very different from reality.
I really like this statement... "shouldn't expect Pentax to look anything like Canon, Nikon or Sony. Something else - maybe unique - but not directly competitive with the high volume business model." And to us, this is more encouraging than anything else...we don't want to see Pentax as Canikony clones...
