Originally posted by eddie1960 he's not going to talk about stuff under development not even ready for preview, if it bothers you to wait don't many people will look at your stuff in the marketplace. it takes time to develop product, it looks like hoya killed development for the most part in the lead up to the sale. this is the last batch of hoya related product is my guess and at cp+ when everyone else has less to show pentax will have ricoh developed product.
the K5IIs is actually unique in the market being an aa filterless apsc DSLR . AF has been improved dramatically apparently, lenses came out..... more will arrive in the new year. yep the big guns launched some cool stuff, Pentax either will or won't come the new year but not much will be leaked until close to then
I understand it's all under development. and we all know how much time it's taken.
The first digital Pentax FF body, new FF SR, new FF AF system with more than 11 points, and a whole new FF lens set. That's quite a lot to finish, test and release all at the same time for ANYbody much less a small outfit like Pentax, and then to expect no quirks like SAFOX or SDM....the big guns have been working with FF for years...
yes, the K-5 and K30 is favorably competitive against current (2+ year old) APS-C DSLRs, no question, but that yardstick will move up again really, really soon (Jan.) and the APS-C DSLR itself as a platform is shrinking due to mirrorless and FF.... and we're still waiting for what will essentially be a prototype...
