Dear Pentax

mee · 07-21-2012, 08:33 PM

Dear Pentax,

I would like it if we had:

- Weather sealed professional flash units.
- Wifi connectivity to a computer (no memory cards required within range of PC)
- Additional memory card slot for dual writes

and these were not only on your high-end flagship product!

That would indeed be nice, but for a start they could at least offer the same kits for those 3, rather than making all but the cheapest kit black-only, which seems to be the case here in the UK at least.

Dear Pentax,

Please make a general battery grip that can fit the K-30, K-r and K-x... if just to make handling better for larger-handed persons.

I would like to ad a thumb print sensor to limit the use of my camera to me. It should limit the theft problem. I understand that if someone can build it, someone can defeat it. But it would tend to keep the honest people honest.

Dear Pentax,
All that you need to conquer more market share is good AF.
- make AF sensors smaller (at least central).
- ad special sensor for f/1.4-f/2.8 lenses
- improve algorithm for 1 iteration lock

No FF camera launch in the near future, Pentax = Hopeless !

I'm still waiting for the 8~1200mm f/1.2 1:1 macro zoom.

Would you like the version that comes with its own heavy duty truck, or would you rather have it permanently mounted in your garden?

If it's not a pancake, I'll be very disappointed.

I'm thinking a TOW turret on a HMMWV would work nicely.

Pentax is hurting their fans and thinks they are stupid.
K-5 will be my last Pentax camera if Pentax will not launch FF in coming months.
Pentax will be a hopeless company and I will go for Nikon D800.
If Pentax is still disappointing their Pentaxians, I believe there are a lot of Pentaxians will jump this boat like me

I change my requests.. I would like, PentaxSanta, if you did away with MAP and had pricing like there were a year or so ago... because I actually bought your products back then.. that is all.

**dadipentak** · 09-02-2012, 06:08 AM

Love that pancake, mee--two more thumbs up!

drumhead · 09-02-2012, 08:49 AM

How about a FF sensor in a K1000 body for $750. Set ISO, shutter, aperture and fire away. No preview screen, no AF, nothing. Back to the roots. For use with legacy MF lenses. Oh, but make it WR.

Just dreaming!

Actually give me a FF K5 with better AF and focus peaking in 16 days!
