That's kind of the point for me too.
I have seen other brands that do a good enough job in both still and video, that I know they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
This is not a heads or tails situation, where you can only have one or the other now.
I want to keep all the good points I like with Pentax for stills, and use them for video too.
These include ergonomics, the lenses I have, user interface, solid rugged design and weather sealing, image quality etc.
There are always going to be (massively more expensive) devices tailor made for the extreme best in one aspect, such as the 645Z for studio stills work, and video only devices such as the Sony F5/FS7 etc.
However, the likes of Sony, Panasonic, CaNikon, Fuji, Olympus (insert most every other brand in the world) have shown that you can achieve good enough results in both stills and video now, on the same device.
Pentax is now approaching 7 years since their last significant video development upgrade, (and downgrade in some ways too, 2 steps forward & 1 step back...) and that's pathetic.
Yes you can do some cool stuff with their current offering, but it's Q3 2017 and it shows.
