Exactly, they all have to work together, pretty much from start to finish.

That's true, I would definitely rather support my local mom and pop shop first, the shop in Arlington has the Pentax 70-200 in stock right now for $6 more than B&H or Adorama. I have had to buy online most of the time due to no local stock :( but at least they recognize the brand and I can get touchy/feely with some stuff.

I live in the D/FW area and there is one store that carries DSLR products, several come up on the search but all the other ones are Theta only
Luckily the one store is 15 minutes from me, they are awesome to deal with but they do keep the Pentax stock pretty low.

I just turned 51 and the old eye sight is getting a little fuzzy, I do shoot some animals for some of the local rescues but my main focus is motocross, I can't race anymore due to a kidney transplant so I took up photographing it instead...… Ok, I'm going to the dark side for just a minute, I met a guy at a local race a few weeks ago and I was able to shoot his gripped D500 with the Nikon 70-200 2.8 for a couple of hours, once I got the hang of it I felt like I was cheating, that thing is a beast, I believe it could literally track a fly in flight, It would be the only camera that at this point would be able to draw me away from Pentax, I started with a K10 back in 08 so I've been here a while, I have chosen to never make this statement before because all I would get is a "Bye" "see ya if you think Nikon is better" "don't let the door hit ya" ect ect.
The D500 set up I was shooting with is a tad over 5 grand, I'm going to wait and see if Pentax can improve AF and by how much, I may eventually go to the dark side but I prefer to stay were I'm at.

Can't no one tell me I'm not dedicated to the brand, I have even made my own sweat towels :) (it's hot in Texas). I do get some noses turned up to me by the Canon/Nikon shooters but I could care less what most of them think, I'm proud to shoot a Pentax. I haven't made any shirts just yet.... maybe I should buy a PF forum shirt :)

I agree, I'm not expecting a D500 killer from Pentax, I shoot all types of sports with a well beaten K3 and my keeper rate is pretty decent but an upgrade to better AF will always be welcomed. I only hope when they do release a new crop body that they don't stray too far from the K3 design, for me the K3 with the grip fits like a glove.

Nah, I had to bleach my eyes and literally lost an IQ point the first time I read it.
Thank you for the offer though.

One guy has some good ideas and makes some pretty decent points for Pentax to possibly shoot for, and with the fact using an existing body with new internals would more than likely be cheaper than a ground up new camera.
The other guy is your typical keyboard warrior who likes to play his hard hand and make other members feel less than him by pretending to know just how much said upgrades will actually be.
On the other hand.... it's not just empty talk, he has the pinnacle of the photo world.....the DFA 50 to drive his point home :lol:

I myself would love a nice new shiny body as my K3 is getting a little long in the tooth, but if they announced a 16-50 and 50-135 with updated motors I would pre order both of them on the spot. I have both of the originals that are currently paperweights after several SDM replacements.
I love them both optically but have spent too much on repairs so I gave up on them.
