Hm, seems as if those gleeful comments about DxO's imminent demise were, well, a bit premature.

I, for one, am all for choice, and I'm glad they're still in business. Even if the new or improved...

@Reilly Diefenbach: You would think intuitive RAW conversion software that produces excellent results isn't the meanest feat. Also, I appreciate to be given choices to pick from. What would be...

@#2: Simply not true, generalized this way, I'm afraid. Nik Collection 2018 does include HDR Efex Pro. The shots inside the church linked below were rendered with it, as part of the 30-day demo...

Just liked your comment, Igor. You're certainly right about the pitfalls of Western ethnocentrism, including our political thinking. History can teach us a thing or two about how fragile democracy...

Actually, I'm a German citizen, and my country has certainly, over the course of her bumpy history, wrestled with democracy, terribly so, in fact. However, since 1945, I'd say, we've learnt our...

Well, I should have probably inserted "effectively" before "declared himself dictator for life", which was somewhat hyperbolic in itself, for deliberate rhetorical effect. Unarguably, Xi Jinping...

At some point of my use of the internet I learnt to distrust total-and-persistent hate comments and user reviews. More often than not, the people writing them are pursuing some sort of vendetta,...

@dpthoughts: Nah, considering the general unworthiness of anything Pentax and the sorry pee-ons who use it, the score should have been in the low twenties, or even lower!

Hmm, yet somehow, for no...

'Are the "bells and whistles" more important than the actual images and usability these days?'

Er, to the majority of camera buyers, sadly, they are. Almost as important as wearing the camera...

Thanks for making the sample images available prior to your full review of the camera. IQ looks very promising, from what I see.

Can't understand some of the posters' complaints about the colours...

Wish them all the best for restructuring, and am looking forward to them further evolving their great PhotoLab and Nik Collection software suites.

What the habitual haters don't get is that choice...

Thanks for covering this, DPReview. Even if Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution mode does not work under all circumstances, it seems to be a worthwhile addition to the feature set. Would be interesting...

Capable lenses with true character, particularly prime lenses, be it their Limited or * lenses, to name just a few more recent lines, have actually been a Pentax forte for much of its history. And...

Oh, I've been around here quite a while, actually. But I still find the keyboard warfare baffling whenever I go here. How can people be so much preoccupied with incrementally-improving gear, and so...

A simple thanks for including Ricoh/Pentax in your interviews, DPReview.

Reading some of the comments, I can't help wondering about the source of all that bashing of, impatience with, and whining...

Had already ended my subscription in the light of the 500px.me-Chinese-sister website crap and the recent price hike.

Now a clean Chinese takeover. How am I supposed to trust a business hosting...

Wow, what an impeccable composition, wam7! Frankly, I wasn't prepared for hitting on a gem like this between the usual drabness of photo industry news. Well done.
