I feel like, I am seeing more people using Sony mirrorless FF than Nikon DSLR now. I also see more and more people using Fuji in the last 8-9 months. This is not a scientific research. It is just my “feeling” when I go out shooting which I have been doing almost every weekend in Tokyo in the last … may be 5 or 6 years. Sometime 2-3 times a week if it happens to be long holiday.
IMO, Mirrorless market is getting bigger and bigger. I don’t know if Pentax is interesting in this growing market? It might be something like FF DSLR market back when Nikon and Canon enjoy making money while Pentax showed little sign of interest then.
so Yes, if they want to have a share from one of a few markets which still shows a good promise or a possibility of making big money in the world of smartphone’s camera today.
No, if their policy is just to survive. Or who know? They might want to join the mirrorless race, but they ran into a problem like... short of funding, etc.
I am sure there are a lot of variable I don't know and or understand here. Originally posted by Na Horuk What next step would make you spend more money on Pentax?
Well build mirrorless FF or APS-C or WR limited prime or something like the upcoming 11-18 will sure make me want to spend some money for the brand.
