If you want compact lenses with some character, we have the FA43 and FA77. If you want clinical optical performance at a high level - at the size required - we have the D-FA*50 and D-FA*85. And ...

A touch screen is very useful for selecting AF points in live view - and every camera I own that has a touch screen has an option for it to be turned off. So, I don't see what the problem is here ...

Converting 12-bit Raw files into 16-bit Photoshop files before editing, along with using good noise-reduction software (like Topaz) can go a long way towards getting good results from M43 files. ...

I love the benefits from an EVF, but I notice that I really enjoy using an optical viewfinder after being away from one for a while. This is always going to be a subjective issue.

I've had the II and the III, the latter for over a year, and no dust problems with either. Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I'm glad I didn't let the fear of dust prevent me from making many of ...

Hot take: the Pen-F is still one of the most beautiful cameras ever made. Just my humble opinion.

You mean the lens we've been requesting for the last 15 years? I'm *still* waiting for a fast 24, for both APS-C and FF.

Um, I've made lots of really good prints with sensors a lot worse than this one. Perhaps you're confusing IQ with QI (quality of image).

In a way, they are better prepared than most, it's like they hunkered down long before this crisis hit. I wouldn't be surprised if Pentax is still making cameras after one or two much bigger ...

Looks like a great all-around camera, pity on the timing ;(

If you're asking from a business perspective, I have no idea. I'm only responding from a selfish perspective, and that's more full-frame lenses and newer bodies, and maybe a successor to the K-01 ...

As a primarily full-frame (K-1) shooter, my only interest in an APS-C body would be if it was very small and compact. This new "flagship" seems like an action and sports shooter, so if you're one ...

I have a GRII and GRIII, lost the rings from both early on in ownership. I just bought a replacement ring for the GRIII from JJC for $15, haven't lost it yet ;)

PDAF is all it really needs. Weather-sealing would be nice, but unless they release some small weather-sealed primes it would be mostly a waste for me.

1. Significantly increased battery life. 2. Weather sealing. 3. Improved AF. 4. A flip screen. Any 2 of these 4 would get my upgrade money.

Try being a Pentax user, we've been dealing with imminent demise for DECADES.

The Sigma is excellent (and a great value), but it lacks weather-sealing which can be critical for a field camera. But I'm a lot more interested in an updated DA* 50-135/2.8, an optically superb ...

Three lenses is the sweet-spot for me as well. More than that, and I spend too much time thinking about lens changes. That's what's so appealing to me about the new DFA21: I can see the 21, 43 and ...

The original K-5 (not the II and IIs) had problems with AF under certain color temperatures such as tungsten lighting - a huge flaw to be sure. I'm not sure if that was your issue, but it was...

This one sparks joy ;)
