Yes, but how does it go, that pushing? By scaring people away with exaggerated tests?
Nope, Ricoh Imaging needs R&D funds to develop better AF and integrate better video (and everything else); and they need a market to sell their products at high enough volumes to make it feasible. And all they can do, it can be done gradually - it's not like they would develop the perfect camera for 5 years then sell it and gain instant recognition and tons of money.
Because Pentax is nowhere near a market leading position, having their products succeed on the market will not make them complacent - but rather, encourage them to push more. IMO.
So as a Pentaxian desiring for "my" brand to make further progress, I'd rather wish the potential customers - precisely those who would be happy with existing Pentax equipment - to buy, instead of being convinced that Pentax is useless.
As for the K-3's replacement, I would expect a variant of the K-1's AF system. But, who knows...

I think some of us overdid it, and were too aggressive, too personal. Rishi as well, tried too hard to defend his position and became aggressive. That's what I mean by "war".
Unfortunately, even people who weren't aggressive were attacked.
I disagree about the test being valid; after all, K-1's AF coverage isn't that bad, compared with similarly priced cameras. Not in the generic context of an AF-C/tracking test.

On the other forums, sequences used to exemplify that the K-1 can do AF-C were rejected because they weren't bikes. For example, race cars were considered easier to track.

Biz-engineer, thank you for your efforts. Perhaps you should select a few series and post 100% crops? It wouldn't stop the critics though, nor would it convince DPReview.

Why reproducing their test in the exact same conditions? Do you think it's relevant? :)

Because you are a Pentax Loyalist contradicting the established and confirmed facts which were revealed by their rigorous, scientific testing? :p
(just stating what they might be thinking...)
Unfortunately, things degenerated into a war between Pentaxians and a certain Rishi (who is aggressively defending his tests).
