seriously, very disappointing. don't care how they stabilize handheld footage, mech. or software, its needs to be useable.
Most of my shots are on a tripod but while travelling or just short trips eg it comes in handy
for me it is clear I am not buying a pentax again for video unless this is sorted out...
You shouldn't worry about that. Sooner or later all cameras of all brands will have amazing video, same as photo. It's where the market is going.
RAW video, stabilized video, resolution, audio quality will soon be a part of camera reviews, etc.
By the way, the only reason pentax introduced digital SR it's just to say on the specifications that the video is stabilized. What they don't say is that digital SR is worse than no shake reduction at all
