Who made you the authority on what photography is?
I disagree that photography is "all about art." Maybe to
you it is. To others it is about business and making a living. To me it is most often about recording events. I don't give a rat's behind about "ART" when I am taking pictures for remembrance of an event. I just want the camera to
work. I doubt the OP cares much about art when he is taking pictures of his kids playing soccer.
So those of you that think that photography is just about art, go back to your K1000's or MX's and be happy making art. I've been through the manual focus SLR era. I don't want to go back. I have experienced what state of the art AF is like on direct Pentax competitors, and it is good. There is no reason to make excuses for SAFOX or SDM. They are both way behind the competition (about 20 years in the case of Canon) and I look forward to the day when Pentax remedies that situation.
