Originally posted by séamuis it depends on the product really. can you honestly tell me that a 'Limited' camera, knowing about the 'Limited lenses sounds like a serious camera in line with the K20D or any other camera in its class or higher? maybe its just me but that screams novelty and I don't think it would be good for pentax to separate such a camera in that way.
You were the one to refer to any Pentax item as a novelty. I'm just pointing out that to some people, they are a "novelty" in that there are people that think Pentax has been out of business. When people see me out with my Pentax dSLR, they do a double take.
Perhaps our definition of "novelty" is different.
Quote: Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual.
