Did Pentax just give up on AF and video improvements? Best camera of 2010 for sure.

Look dude, it's a personal opinion. I hate how this place goes all ham on anyone trying to give any opinion that isn't formulated out of perfect scientific lab test that need to hold up in Scientific America. I mean really. You need to evaluate your life if you are giving this guy grief for making a good effort at providing info for others.
Reminds me of Nation Lampoons vacation when the grouch old father in law, after looking at Clark's giant holiday light display, says, "Clark, you know the little white lights aren't blinking".

Everyone is expecting something revolutionary. If Pentax has taught me anything, they are evolutionary, and generally a follower, not a leader. It would be great if the hump was some kind of time travel device, or whatever the board is guessing will solve every deficiency a Pentax camera has ever had, but I will stick with history to predict the future.

You can turn off touchscreens, you dont have to use wifi, and you never have to articulate the screen. And you dont have to ruin it for others. If you think smart phones are aggravating, no wonder you're so scared of these new fangled electronics. I actually feel like I'm talking to my mother about technology.

Why does it take years for Pentax to add features others already have? I dont see them having a touch screen before 2018, and forget wifi before 2020. They may add a swivel screen shortly after we colonize Mars.

The k-30/50 is Pentax's lower end camera. And can anyone explain to me why we cant have these features, and good image quality? It seems like every Pentax shooter is just thrilled with keeping a camera as old school as possible, 2013 be damned! Like nobody except old people shooting birds uses Pentax. This is why we cant have nice things.

Klchew, you keep mentioning it doesn't have a viewfinder, if that's the end all be all of a camera. I and many others could care less about a viewfinder. Nothing I shoot, which is architecture from a tripod and shots of a toddler require a viewfinder. In fact, I am way happier without having to look through a viewfinder. You say it doesn't better a Q in any manner. Well, the image quality matches a k5, the Q, not so much. I'd also take the size of the k-01 with the xs 40mm out and about instead of the Q and the zoom lens. There's no pocket I own that holds one but not the other. Everything I see from the Q has noise in the image. I realize old people like this because it reminds them of film from the 70's, but not me. I have a K-r, and the K-01 has a nicer build, a dedicated movie record button, better image quality, a quieter shutter, a smaller body and I can use all my K mount lenses in autofocus and aren't super tele's.
Bottom line, it's a nice niche, be it small. I don't shoot sport, birds, or stand in the rain. Maybe I am one of few Pentax shooters that falls into that category, but for me it's perfect. I don't get having to analyze it to death on a forum. I think the design blows away that plastic Canon piece of junk they just announced that looks like a ugly box with a hundred protrusions like every other black dslr and features removed just to hit a price point. Yuck. I could go on, but it's not worth it.

You could use the advertising slogan, "Use this and your guaranteed to be left alone by the opposite sex for more precious shooting time!"

Can someone summarize what the results are? Every time I look at people shooting charts and brick walls, my eyes cross and my brain shuts off.

Is it humanly possible to have a single thread on this camera without somebody saying "it should have a viewfinder?" My God it is getting annoying. WE GET IT ALREADY!
