The Pentax FF K1 DSLR is out: Ephotozine Review!
#6
 Disagreed, Pentax would fall over dead trying....( as in, on it's back, feet in the air)

 

There's still this "small proportion of serious amateurs/pro photographers" ( Tongue  Big Grin) out there in this world who like shooting DSLRs and reading here on this site one would imagine they are the minority........the fact is they are still the majority and by two thirds..... that's how it is!

 

  

 What's creating the big news out there at the moment?...........

 

  D5....D500...D80....1DXII.....and now the KI...... the world is focused on these cameras.....they are still way more important than Sony's A7 series!.....

 

Pentax is a traditional company producing DSLRs in the traditional style to a smaller customer base than Canikon, that's what it "is" as a company......based on reputation, , legacy lenses, and their current lens range.......... to throw all that away to "risk" it out against the Giants.... Sony, Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus and the like would be a disaster financially.......

 

...the change to mirror-less for them is a step too far in a market that is still "dominated" by the DSLR, the gamble to change their whole game and lens range and back what is effectively "the smaller market".....it's just not viable.

...Not doubt there has been many a Ricoh/Pentax board meeting about that very topic!

 

Mirror-less is getting there........but as yet cannot yet serve my photographic needs.......quite simply!
