That's how I see it too and I am not against Pentax.
What I mean is the fact that this camera doesn't bring any breakthrough innovations. A better viewfinder is the only plus.
This camera follows...

Maybe, maybe not ...
"Seems to have" and "have" make a difference.
Wait and see what the tests show.

From my point of view - simply 5 years too late. Times are changing.

For me it's not fuzzy, it's shaked  ... 1/40 and 280mm

The term "Pro" was devalued a long time ago. Lots of manufacturers print "Pro" on every sh*t. It doesn't make the product any better

"so r5 is no replacement for anything, more like it's a weak compromise that overheats easily, has poor battery life, etc"

Sorry, it sounds like a statement from an iphone photographer.

Yes, that's rubbish. Especially when some write "I own it" or "I had it".
And that for products that have not yet been delivered

Pandemic? That may be the case, however new Sony and Panasonic or Fuji cameras are available. Are they immune?

Demand would be there, only Canon is unable to deliver, and not just 70-200. Try to buy R5 in Europe. Delivery time > 3 months.
The best camera is one you have, the worst one that can't be bought.

... and I would like a real lens with a zoom control handle like this 24-105 mug :-)
