Originally posted by Dan Rentea When people are asking if there will be a future for DSLR, according to what you said in the latest comments no one needs a better camera than what Ricoh has now. I mean, why should people buy a K-3 III if af, OVF, 4k and fps aren't features worth upgrading?
This is your biggest fault, you put words in my mouth.

No where did I say that. Where's my apology?
You're so trapped in your own comments that it's amazing how you can't see (or refuze to see) what I said.
You not only refuse to see what I said, you claim I said things I didn't say.
What I said was, it's dishonest speculating about what others , not yourself want,
This is sooo silly.
"People want these features, otherwise Ricoh won't add them and won't have to release new cameras just because you can deal with K-3 II and K-3 III doesn't suit you."
Pentax more than any other company, is careful to buy the best tech they can for the price point they wish to achieve. People will buy some features because it's what's available. If I'd be happy with 10 fps. I'll buy a K-3iii with 12 fps, not because I want 12 fps, but because it's the camera that uses my lenses, that is the best bang for the buck available at the time. You buy camera, but it's quite common to have features on that camera you aren't buying the camera for. People want all kinds of features. That doesn't mean Pentax will provide them. Some will want more, some would have been happy with less. Once again, some only see half the equation.
There are also a lot of users for whom this is so unimportant that they only buy a new camera body when the old one fails. One of them last year a with a K-x won the Flickr "photo of the year" (2019) as voted on by thousands of people. Anyone who bought a new camera hoping it would help them win that prize wasted their money. So once again, what are the numbers as a percentage of users are the people you are talking about?
You buy the camera that goes with the lens or lenses you love if you're smart. The rest you can wing. The only requirement is a camera body that does justice to your lenses. K-5, K-3, K-1, I've used them all in the last week. All for what I like them for. One of them is now 10 years old. I don't need to spend $5000 a year on bodies and lenses to be happy. I don't think much of people who do. Just saying, always wanting the latest greatest is a totally different mindset, a personality quirk that has nothing to do with photography. It's something else.
I would truly appreciate it if in the future, you would stop trying to interpret what I say. If you can't quote my words directly, don't claim I said it. It's unethical claiming you know what I said better than I do. I have always wondered why the forum allows it. I also find it amazing how you can continuously as above claim it's you that is misrepresented, when actually I quote you directly. This needs to be cleaned up. This is a matter of simple human decency.
