I guess I think so, and for me star bursts are an irritating hindrance and smoother bokeh an improvement. If people want cheesy starbursts, buy some cokin filters or similar.

I think we'd be hard-pressed to find ANY distortion or limitation that some proportion doesn't consider a feature. I admit to being a fan of B&W occasionally, for example, though that, too, could be described as cheesy--giving a sense of 'stark' realism while obviously departing from any definition of 'photo-accurate' realism. And the Ltds as a group were always promoted as having 'distinct qualities' or 'personalities.'

Yes, I grew up on B&W and for me, one of the major advantages of digital has been easy access to colour photography.

I just hope that everyone who's complained about the K-3iii delay actually buys one. One wonders, otherwise, about the sincerity of their complaints.
