In answer to your last question, yes I've perceived that to be the case
sometimes, but not with the Chongwagon comment. However, it's not all
whining and negativism. Some of it's an ongoing analysis and, yes,
speculation regarding the future of the brand, and therefore the wisdom of
future potential 'investments'.
I single-handedly, and others who tend to share the same views, will not
make those views come true. Pentax, having marketed and produced in the
manner they have, are responsible for their image, ranking in the
marketplace.

Which is a pretty big market if you think about it, in MF terms.
Why don't you post a lot more negative messages about Pentax? That way
you'll make your worst fears come true.
It seems to me that in life we need a certain amount of optimism. People
who get things done are optimists; people who whinge and bellyache are not
nice to know and tend not to amount to much.
Have you noticed that the most prolific posters of pictures on this site,
and the best photographers, do not as a rule jump on the Chongwagon. They
just get on with life and take pictures.

The difference is that in reality by the time the 645D comes to market
(if at
all) there will likely be very little advantage between a top end Canon
DSLR
kit and the 645D technically. And if I had to buy a new set of lenses
(which I
would if I had to buy a 645D to get anything remotely top end out of
Pentax)
I'd definitely buy into the Canon system and I can't imagine other
people in my
position not doing the same.
