It's quite possible to read the non-Pentax section for information about other cameras, without seeing this kind of pointless Pentax bashing. It has all the traditional Pentax basher qualities. Compare's a field camera to action cameras, in full knowledge that Pentax's stab at an action camera is weeks away from being released, comparing a 6 year old K-3 to and brand spanking new R6. Complaining about the lack of AF points that has been addressed in the K-3iii. I've never seen a single image from this poster, does he even post images?
All the traditional tactics we've seen so many times over the years.
Just because someone is critical of Pentax doesn't mean he's right. His error was buying the wrong camera for the job he's doing, it had nothing to do with Pentax, it had only to do with his choice. My K-1 which he completely dismisses is still the best camera for what I do. His criticism is irrelevant except to establish his poor judgement in buying a Pentax K-1ii out of brand loyalty (if in fact that's the case.) No one should ever buy any tool for brand loyalty. Best tool for the job and all that. That was his first and only mistake, and he never owned it. The rest is controversial nonsense.
And if he can't handle criticism of his post, he shouldn't post on a public forum.
If someone posts "the R6 is the future", no one should complain if someone else should post "no it's not". Opinions are fair game.
Is he even a photographer? All he posts is youtube videos?
How do I know I his R6 outperforms his K-3(a camera released this year outperforms a 6 year old camera," how is that possible you ask?") I don't see any K-3 images, I don't see any R6 images. I have no data to evaluate his claims. Even the claim that he takes pictures. It's all subjective.
Claiming you love Pentax but bought a Z6 for action right before Pentax releases it's first real action camera without even giving it a look is highly suspicious. It might be a coincidence, it might be intentional, I have no way to evaluate that either. I just know this poster is not on my list of credible sources of information. That's earned by backing up your posts with real data, like images I can evaluate. After all is said and done, if you can't show me some stellar images, I have no reason to take advice from you. You can't improve your photography taking gear advice from bad photographers. As I say, find someone who does what you want, pick their brains, even copy their gear so their advice directly translates to the gear you use. If they haven't shown you an image you want to emulate, they are the last person you should be taking advice from whether it be gear or technique. Who cares what gear some guy who takes average images at best thinks? Do you want excellence or don't you?
