Originally posted by BANKatBULL So after having the Pentax K-30 since January 2016;having it exchanged for a new one last August 2016 due to mirror getting stuck I am convinced that the results are very poor.
My wife's €100 Nokia smartphone and the old compact Sony DSC-W7 produce far better pictures.Ihave also "attended"photo classes with most people having different camera brands than mine.The non-Pentax pictures are superior!
Yesterday I meet an aircraft engineer with a number of years using Pentax.We exchanged gear ;the main difference being the lenses'cause I still use the old PENTAX SMC lenses.
The results were similiar with not much difference visible between the two.
Last point I wish to make,this guy told me that is not keen taking his Pentax kit when say going to our sister island GOZO,a haven for photography,but he is more comfortable with his mobile,one PLUS 3.A far cry from what I would have done if my PENTAX ME SUPER is still alve.I used to carry around everywhere!!!
Hi Victor
I am sorry, but I find your post peculiar to the extreme. Here's a forum with literally thousands of members who shoot Pentax and other cameras, who have been trying to help you. Yet, you come along and post sweeping generalised statements like

So, as I say, thousands of users who shoot with every conceivable Pentax camera and probably virtually every lens ever made, and we must, surely, all be insane, believing that our Pentax cameras can take a half decent photo.
On top of that, notwithstanding your 20 posts, mostly along a similar vein, you have not posted a single photo to these forums to show what problems you are supposedly experiencing.
I will say this once, and politely: I will not have you brand-bash Pentax without providing proof of your particular problem(s) in the form of photographs posted. If you cannot, or do not wish to learn how to use a camera more complicated than a smartphone or a compact, then perhaps you need to consider that you may have purchased the wrong tool. After all, the aim is to produce good photographs. That choice is yours. But, by all means, post your photos if you want to improve your skills. There are many members here who would love to help you.
Good luck.
Kind regards,
Mark
