Pentax K-3 Officially Announced (See our detailed preview here!)

Am I missing something here? Lots of people seem to be worried/offended about the Ricoh name being on the back., the colour of the camera body, etc, to the point of wanting to deface the £1100 body of the camera just so the Pentax name reigns supreme. I've been a user of Pentax gear since 1967 and for me it's the best around. But are there some of us treating the K3 and it's predecessors like a Fashion statement, a camera not to be violated with the name of a company that appears to be not only keeping to the essence of Pentax but actually investing, planning and building a better future for Pentax??.
I'm not going to walk around smugly with a K3 when I buy one in the next year using it like a fashion piece and trying to look superior. It's a camera for taking high quality shots, a major step forward, something we have looked forward to for years, but it's still just a camera and a tool. If you look at the K3 it's a great step forward for Pentax, for the camera and for us, while still retaining the quality and character of the Pentax image, The fact that the name of the company that is taking the name of Pentax to greater heights, and for that I say "Thank You" to RICOH, appears discretely on the camera is irrelevant. If they want to stick their name on the back of the K3 it doesn't, for me, take away the Pentax character and essence and in fact if it wasn't for RICOH the name Pentax might well have slowly sunk into oblivion. The K3 is a great camera so let's use it as such and not fret about fashion or keeping the name of Pentax on a dusty pedestal where it had no future. I'll be able to use it with all the old lenses I've collected and when I pick it up I'll grin and think "Yeah, what a great camera" and then start taking shots with it in the hope of getting that perfect shot like I always do.

Silkypix Digital Camera Utility 3 & 4 Installation Problems

Hi Christo, Well, I downloaded the latest update for Silkypix 4 and then tried it...............it immediately crashed!!!, with Windows 7 saying "Silkypx 4 has a problem and has stopped working. Windows will close the program". So enough is enough I think and I'll get either Lightroom 4 or spend a bit more and get CS6. I do think however that Pentax/Ricoh are not doing themselves any favours by bundling a Software that is not reliable with their Cameras. I have to say that with regard to the K5 the more I handle and use it the more I know I have got the right camera for me and I'm having a hard time finding even a petty fault with it, and even Silkypix can't take the gloss off that!!
