Electronics rules! Electronics also takes up less camera space and reduces assembly and manufacturing costs. Who'd want, or perhaps even understand, an old fashioned mechanical device that didn't require batteries? :hmm:
I wouldn't mind so much if those silly IR receptors designed for 'selfies' were more effective under all shooting conditions. :mad:

The old style buttons had a separate threaded top cap for the cable release or soft touch button. Seems easy enough to duplicate in addition to the electronic release cable. (no batteries required!)
I'm fabricating an accessory bracket that suspends the tip of a mechanical cable over the shutter button of the Q-bodies. Works - just looking for the best materials and shape now - and it's useful because the only Q option is an IR remote.

Y'all are lookin' at it bass-ackwards.
How many ads do ya see for a Ferrari or a Lambrogini? Your own chartered Citation business jet? How many do you see in in the 'wild'? Would you even know where to purchase such a rare thing?
Start thinkin' Pentax is a fine and RARE object with an honorable history -- and above the grasp of normal folks.
Stop making excuses for them. Or envying' 'em -- oh, surely NOT. Rather pity those without the Pentax logo on their gear.
A secret James Bond-007 smile and you're on your way. Some secrets are not to be disclosed, eh?
