In their recent videos, Ricoh/Pentax has firmly staked out their ground in the DSLR realm. As others depart for Mirrorless, many Pentaxians will be experiencing mixed emotions. Hence this question.
If Pentax goes on to become the "King of DSLR", and eventually its only inhabitant as everyone else departs for the "Land of Mirrorless", will you be happy?
Some possible answers:
- Yes, because Pentax will finally be top of the heap (a very small heap)
- No, because I will feel insecure that maybe we are heading for extinction
- Yes, because I don't care about anything else so long as I have the cameras and lenses I want
- No, because I want Pentax to move to Mirrorless too
- Yes, because the departed will eventually realize and repent their error and return to the Kingdom of DSLR
- No, because life in a niche is uncomfortable and lonely, and small children will point at me and laugh
- Yes, because a new generation of DSLR photographers will come to replace us and The Departed
- No, because they don't call me Grumpy for nothing
- Yes, because I'm a proud Pentaxian and I live in the happiest kingdom of them all
- I don't believe it will happen; CaNikon will stick with DSLR for years to come
- Yes, because I'm not heavily invested in Pentax and feel free to jump to wherever the grass is greener
- No opinion; it's just evolution; que sera sera
- Other (fill in your own ...................).
I think I know where I stand on this (maybe I have a foot in two camps), but am interested to hear others' views.
