How about people who pay money to watch men hit a ball with a stick and when nothing happens (no hitter) that is what they call great.:D

" In a stunning move in which two smaller, financially struggling but very innovative camera manufacturers will join forces, Hoya Corporation, which bought Pentax in 2008, has just sold its Pentax Imaging Systems division to Ricoh Company, Ltd. for $128 million dollars. According to a press release distributed this morning, all of Pentax's business assets and shares will be transferred to Ricoh, with the merger expected to be completed by October.
With this transaction, Ricoh overnight has become a major player in the DSLR and interchangeable-lens compact camera market. But it could also be the first of many dominoes to fall. The Nikkei business daily says “the move by Ricoh could trigger a major industry realignment.” Ricoh will take over Hoya's domestic and overseas production bases, employees and Pentax brand, according to Nikkei.
Two Struggling Brands
In May, Ricoh announced it would cut 10,000 jobs—10% of its workforce. Ricoh's digital camera business has been unprofitable but the company hopes Pentax's established sales channels in the US will reverse its fortunes. Hoya shipped 1.63 million digital cameras in 2010, down 10% from 2009. Ricoh is said to have shipped less than half a million cameras. "

The OLED EVF is just as good as an OVF IMHO to frame an image. The K-3 works just like my K-7 with fixed LCD and to me that is obsolete today IMHO.

My K-7 was purchased the first day it was available and since then I have purchased many cameras but none with a mirror and I don't plan on purchasing any more cameras with mirrors.
