It doesn't appear that anybody is ridiculing or ctiticizing you. However, I can't tell you how you should feel.
I can tell you about my experience of migrating from my ancient ateam powered K10D to the K3. The first omage I took was my black nylon backpack on a dark maroon ottoman, indoor backlit by a skylight above and dimly front lit from a glassdoor. The image should have looked awful but I was astonished by the exposure, detail and color accuracy. Of course, it was all downhill from that point as I had to become more familiar with the K3.
