I couldn't care less whether people like what I say about Pentax or not. Well maybe a little less. :-)
My point was I think Pentax has had an interim history of producing some either flawed or lagging products. A statement I'm sure you'd agree with. I especially feel that way in light of the hooplah on this list about how each new product was going to be a 'Nikon or Canon-killer' and make the rest of the industry stop in its tracks). Had I bought other systems I might have similar gripes, but I wouldnt know for sure till I laid out the cash.
