Why I won't buy a KP.

I do not buy it cuz none of those who ordered it are happy with the pictures. Also because Pentax has not replaced the faulty units for the ones got a bad sample.

Bit early to complain about faulty units since the KP has not shipped yet?

Lots of people complain about things they have never used

These statements don't make any sense. No one has had an opportunity to purchase a KP yet, so no one has had an opportunity to be happy, or unhappy, with pictures created by the KP, and no one has received a bad sample of the KP as far as we know.

I have a K-5 and wait for the successor. Nice camera anyway

Sorry, I thought it was clear what I meant with those non-sense statements. For sure I do not know anything about the camera.

One memory card slot, three dials, Prime IV and the Accelerator unit, 7 FPS, and 6 shot buffer. This could be the successor to the K-5.

Because looking at it makes me love my K-5IIs even more.

Without at least a 10min 4K (30p or 60p), think its hard sell man. I still prefers to use my K3 and my mobile phone for 4K videos. Except low light video is horrendous. Only if......

Because it cost almost twice as much as K3-II in Sweden given the current prices... And even if K3-II gets discontinued that won't make KP a superior camera.

* Why I won't buy a KP * cause it will have "Ricoh" on the back of the camera and as such i am unable to take 'awesome' pictures with it.😛

I'm sorry If I'm disturbing - it was not my intention.

Because even at £1100 it isn't really an upgrade on my K-3. I'll wait for a Pentax that gives me all of the things I like about the K-3, but with less noise/faster AF and improved speed/buffer - basically a D500/7DMkIII rival is what I want.

I have a K-1 for most of my shots, i'd like a better APS-C body for nature/sports.
