IMO Windows 'peaked' with Windows 2000. The Windows 9x / Me releases were steaming turds in comparison. NT4 was OK but lacked some modern features like plug-n-play hardware support. XP didn't...

Not knocking the K01 but its lack of phase-detect AF was another issue vs. DSLR. The K01's AF was especially mediocre when released, though it improved considerably with firmware updates. It did...

Consider me another doubter of the 'accuracy' claim. I believe EVF's all offer 100% coverage, while relatively few optical viewfinders offer this. DoF evaluation is another case -- optical...

Pentax has made DSLR bodies arguably smaller than this in the past -- though not usually lighter. I believe there are a few Pentax bodies that were shorter and narrower than this but Pentax bodies...

I'm with you on the idea that K-01 gets an unfair rap, it's a better camera than most think...but don't you think one or two posts on the subject might be enough?

I think the K-01's output is probably not so far off while having some benefits in terms of versatility, video, and maybe even ergonomics (subjective) as well...so you really have to like what that...

"photography in its purest form"? Uh, sure...do you write ad copy for Sigma for your day job?

I'm not going to say that these cameras aren't a good choice for certain photographers..there's a...

There have been plenty of third-party AF lenses for SLR mounts. For the in-body-motor screwdriven Pentax and Nikon lenses there's not even much of a protocol needed for AF, but the adapter would...

Also, the 'lensor' release button is in a different location, likely the mechanical catch in the mount for that release is as well.

Look at classic 35mm SLR bodies like its MX namesake. Strap lugs were on the front corner faces, just like this.

Feel much the same way. I agree that a camera of this class should offer a hotshoe. The lens is probably decent though if I were doing the specs it probably would have been a fast 24-90-equiv...

For those questioning only a single control dial -- Pentax DID include two dials, it's just that one is dedicated to EV comp, which for most photographers is heavily used; and here you don't have...

Lens release button isn't in same location as Nikon 1 so even if this camera shares some DNA with Nikon 1, it's likely the mount will be incompatible.

For those who don't think tripod collar is necessary -- you may be right in the sense that the lens is probably light enough that decent heads will be able to handle the weight. But tripod collars...

I suspect Nikon has put a lot more effort into their business cases than most of the armchair CEO's here.

There is no way that this D600 replaces D7000. It is *much* more expensive, especially when you factor in glass costs. It does look like the pro-level APS-C D300s-class camera has again been...

Francis, do you even read Cane's post? His only 'complaint' was about all the whiny posts by people with unrealistic expectations.

Agree though, seems there are several posters here who seem to...

New beginning? I don't know, I think this may be overstating things. This appears to be a more attractive looking & aggressively priced successor to the (apparently) slow-selling X70 and X90. I...

You can do that. I'm going to go post pointless rants on the internet!
