Originally posted by BigMackCam For you and a few others, in one specific area (video) that may be true. Thankfully, the majority of those interested in the K-1 won't share that opinion
Obviously. It's just a rebuttal to those telling us to leave and buy something else. There is nothing else, and Pentax is close to delivering the perfect camera for me. It has been for the last 5 years, but always misses the mark by having moved away from their 6 year old K-5. That's was frustrating me, and some others too. I only meant to say that the camera, for me, becomes useless. I can't afford to have a tool that only does one thing well. And even if I could, I don't want to carry the additional gear.
I'm well aware that for others the K-1 delivers everything they could possibly want from a camera (though how anyone can live with that focus point selection is beyond me... the K-1 is a bit better, but still far from good. I really can't get used to it, and Pentax insisting on this system is baffling, cause they could just let us change how the buttons behave). That's great for them, for Pentax, ...
@steve: That would be true, if it was a useless feature while the car is moving. For some however it is not, it's much more useful while the car is moving. So no, not having any access to the boot is a better analogy
