Originally posted by Rondec I don't see them jumping to change something just because Pentax is releasing a competing camera.
I see things in a different way.
Working with my theory of the behind-the-scenes collegiality of Japanese camera companies, I think both Canon, Nikon and Sony have only scheduled the release of some fairly low-key DSLRs (the third Nikon FF released this year, the release of yet another Canon APS-C, etc) and other gear at Photokina 2014 to allow Pentax to step up to the stage this time and get a respectable share of the media buzz as it enters the full-frame club.
Anyway, I hope that's true.
