And after reading many of the posts here...
The users here don't get paid Neds salary to represent Pentax. I think that is the issue that is being skirted but not really addressed fully.
If Ned was just a professional photographer, and not head of Pentax USA, yet was known as a loyal Pentax user all of his life and suddenly bought a Leica, that would be one thing and I doubt many would complain about it.
Yet,
My personal view is that I could care less what equipment Ned uses. In this case he purchased a camera in a segment that Pentax has no real motivation to compete in, and probably won't . DSLR's are different, Pentax is committed to DSLR's, therefore Ned wouldn't buy a DSLR from Canon such as the 1DS etc. just because they don't make a DSLR currently in that slot.
He has the right to be a photographer first, as long as Pentax is ok with that. If Pentax is ok with that (and I don't think they should have a problem in this case) then there shouldn't be an issue.
All I know is, I wouldn't want the burden of dealing with all the talk in the forums as a result of this purchase. Ned had to know this would cause some sort of ruckus among the forums. Maybe that just didn't matter to him. Maybe too many worry too much about things they don't need to really be worried about.
Who knows :)
