That's pretty positive all round stuff for the brand. It's good they are finally pushing themselves into marketing at least in shows like this. I guess Pentax is strong over there?

It supports what we have suspected for the last 12 months or so, that they have improved under Ricoh, there are things happening and the FF gesture was, if anything, humorous.

Interesting to see the X5 on the stand with the model(?) sales person. It's a not so well known or spoken about model, I heard it was discontinued, but cheap and reasonably well spec'd. Its the sort of cam that Pentax needs to keep in some stores to introduce the masses to the brand and was well used recently by the Aus importer as a bundle for $199 thru Aussie post.

Interesting post, thanks.

Since the X5 was released, I think I only saw 1 being used ever! There were only 2 Pentax Q shooters I've seen during the event and the other was me. What was surprising is the turn up of Pentax shooters that I've never met or not even registered within our small Pentax group. I guess there are a lot more Pentax shooters out there mostly using a K30 and a Kr.

There is no such thing a "Pro" level gear, just Pro level work.
