You think 645D seeking pros will need my advice?
For water proof camera, I recomment the Panasonic TS-3, better waterproof rating, better AF, better high ISO noise responce. Heck I sold my own W60 to get the TS3. Looking at pentax, apart from flashy new plastic shells and higher pixel count each generation, there's no essential upgrade to IQ, I think the IQ is actually degrading each generation. On the other hand Panasonic actually stuck to and even reduced pixel density in successive generations.
Or, if they are into extreme sports, I actually tell them to get the Go Pro.
As for the other buying advice, it was mostly for entry level SLR gear, I used to sing praise for how great the Pentax value is. "You are paying less money and getting the same/more bang" I said. Especially if they wanted a few lens to go with their purchase.
Not any more, what more does the K-r + a few mid level lens offer over similar Canon and Nikon gear? What does the K-01 offer that's over the NEX? How about the OM-D? I am getting an OM-D for my boyfriend instead of the K-01.
You don't have to tell me the Limiteds are great lens - I own all 3. But dismissing primes from other makers is foolish.
