Originally posted by Mystic if the thing with focus points is true, I mean if they're still not displayed in the viewfinder, then again, pentax stumbled on a smooth road, while it could be a total bestseller, with this flaw, every reviewer, will notice that and will beat k-x for being handicapped..
c'mon please dpreview, be wrong on this point!
It's human nature to believe that our personal preferences are universal but no they're not. This camera will sell like hot cakes (just like K-m before it) because it's small, cute, different from others and offers a real kicka$$ (performance+quality)/price ratio. In between the 49 out of 100 new users using a dslr for the first time that use the central point only (most of them without any intention of recompose) and another 49 out of 100 who'll use Live View stay 2 disgruntled forum users that moan about this feature not being available.
Please understand me correctly it's not like you're wrong or something just you can bet that this feature is not too popular among the users that this camera targets and including it would of meant further complications in the interface and added cost. Besides I am pretty sure that you can select via back LCD the desired point if you like and I bet it won't take very much to do that.
