There was a bit of irony in my comment, but I’m not so sure the KP is as bad or ignored as many people here think it is. In the USA - and especially on this Forum - the KP suffers mostly from the fact of what it isn’t.*


*The K-3 replacement everyone wanted.

Your need at the museum is clearly a professional use case, where the Z1 is targeted. I’m not certain this Forum fully understands the importance of Theta to RIcoh Imaging. For most older still photographers it looks like an interesting toy but Pano shooters ought to pay attention. The cost of landscape lens + stable legs + pano head is in the ballpark of Z1, plus it can be a one-shot capture rather than a dozen or more. A lot will depend on how robust the Adobe file handling is. Good that RI is actively working with Adobe.

The theta360.com website is aggressively marketing the Z1 - pop ups appear at every new page load.

RE: the new, improved stitching you select the stitch point and can therefore hide the (significantly reduced) loss of resolution at the join. You can also select the roll, pitch and yaw of the stitched image. None of that even starts to describe the significantly improved resolution, flare control (especially the red spot) control of PF and CA (MUCH reduced).

I want this.
I want the GRlll.
I want the DA*11~18/2.8.

Unfortunately I’m supposed to be selling, not buying. Maybe later in the year - but then there will probably be a KP-2, a new APSc flagship and a new FF.

I wonder whether “working with Adobe to make sure their software supports it from day one” has anything to do with the delays since two of the three delayed cameras are clearly aimed at professional / B2B users. I imagine Adobe file processing support would be mandatory to ensure a successful launch in those niches.
