Most underestimated camera currently available

I am sorry, but I do not understand this post at all.

Sure, the K-1 II is a nice camera. We all here know that. I have a K-1 and love it. Woulds not mind a mk II, even if I did not upgrade.

But this "review" is totally over the top. The camera is so utterly unbelievable fantastic and the upgrade to mark II the best thing since sliced bread.

What purpose do it fulfill to write this, in the Pentax DSLR forum?

I posted a review in the camera section, didn't know it would turn up in the forum. Don't like it? Don't read it...

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, even if the mk II is good, the mk II upgrade was a total disappointment. It is an obvious delay tactic to avoid releasing a substantial new FF camera. By releasing mk II they can wait to 2022 to release next FF camera. And that is extremely bad news. We really want two FF cameras NOW, a 24 MP low end camera and a 50 MP high end camera. But, the mk II release says that you will get none. The mk II was the most bad news we FF Pentaxian could get.

I am sorry, but I am so fed up with people who have the ambition to be Pentax' CEO and have the future of the brand all worked out just because they use products of said brand.

People who mourn about the MKII seem to forget that until it was announced no-one was expecting an ff replacement in the first place (everyone was eyeing a K3 replacement.) Is it so difficult to comprehend that the idea was to put the accelerator of the MKII into the original K-1, but somehow got delayed? IMHO, releasing the MKII didn't delay anything that Pentax was already planning back then...

As for the 24 MP low-end ff: what could it possibly bring that the MKII doesn't already have? It is a pretty affordable camera with top-notch IQ that is better than the 24MP ff camera's out there.
