Originally posted by wiyum If you want to shoot sports, Pentax is the wrong system. If you want to do professional-grade architectural work, Pentax (and indeed nearly all small format digital offerings) is the wrong choice. If you want to do studio lighting with strobes and you need high speed flash sync, then Pentax isn't the right system to buy (at the moment).
If you want to shoot sport PROFESSIONALLY then I agree, but its fine for the odd weekend. As for tilt and shift capability, you really dont need that with digital - it can all be done with the right software a lot more easily.
And how often do you need 1/250 flash or high speed flash with studio strobes?
Pentax does what most amateurs need perfectly well, and then some. It can already produce bigger prints that most people ever bother with and you can buy a Sigma 50-500 which is what most Canon and Nikon shooters end up with anyway if they can afford the pro gear.
