It's starting to look like Nikon beat Pentax to the punch-
New Nikon D600( STARTING PRICE $2099)
Now.....I am not one of those "Jonesing" for a Full Frame.........yet.
But......I know that as I get more into a professional level with my skylz(which is still a few years away), I will be looking to be getting a FF, I know for sure that if Pentax has not put one out by that time, then I will be getting into a new set up with a different name on the gear, I however will not ditch my Pentax gear, it will STILL have an important role in my gear. But it is looking like Nikon is really stepping things up and with their support and availability of gear on the market, it is very tempting to go with them, and to stop dumping wasted money into Pentax.
I have always been Brand loyal and a Pentax supporter, but it is getting near the time where I gotta say enough is enough I cannot wait any longer holding my breath for them to come out with something like a FF. Ya their latest announcements are impressive, and i like the direction that they are going, but if they are ever going to be a viable competitor in this technology/DSLR market then they too have gotta step things up. But the Canikon camp has taken over that world and are putting out quality equipment along with excellent support and availability.
I will never bash Pentax, they have always made gear that has NEVER let me down over the last 35 years of my utilizing them, and I will most likely never get rid of the Pentax gear mainly because of sentimental value, I just love my Pentax gear.
PLEASE- PENTAX i HOPE YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING.
