People are complaining about the absence of OVF and hotshoe at DPreview...
Well , if they are that important, they must be far more popular than pentax DSLRs, right? ; )
But frankly speaking, I've never seen any people using external OVF or Flash with enthusiast compacts.
(but three Pentax DSLRs (including a K30) have I seen last month on my brother's wedding party!)

Well, K-01 would have been a success if it looked like this one...

agreed, and this "Let's just say that we are looking at this particular product type more than ever right now..."
is typical weasel words, which means "we haven't do anything about FF" to me.
That give me relief that we won't see anything FF from pentax in a year or two. (if the pentax company is still there;))
At least I have my good old K200 with me. so who cares...:cool:

Although I don't think Pentax will really listen to customers (they haven't, for years), I have a few comments.
1. Price. What has Pentax given us for the extra $100 for DA 50 f/1.8 comparing to the equivalences from other brands? An aperture ring, supersonic drive, weather sealing, or maybe a metal mount?
2. Focus on lenses, please. Yes there are some “new” K mount lenses these years like the plastic DA 35 or the rebranded DA 17-270. Probably the DA 18-135 is the only K-mount lens with newly designed optics apart from the intimidating DA 560.
3. If you don't have enough money to put in R&D for new lenses, at least revive some classic ones, like Fa* 85 or Fa* 80-200...
4. If you reeeeeealy want to keep TWO lines of mirrorless camera, at least develop a COMPATIBLE EVF for them. (Something like Olympus VF-2, which can be used for XZ-1 PnS and four-thirds)
Actually I should be grateful that Pentax did not release anything interesting (to me, at least). That means I will not waste any money on camera gears in the next year.
Thank you, Pentax
