Re: Pentax Future? What's next for Pentax...

[P. J. Alling]

Technically advanced and feature rich don't always translate to best.  
Best is what does the job.  Sometimes a "lesser" product that has what 
you need is the best.

Exactly ;-)


I just wish that everyone on this list shared one hundredth part of  
Toralf's optimism.


I don't mind the pessimism in general so much myself. What can get me 
a bit worked up, is the continuous assertion that Pentax will always 
be one step behind because they are a smaller company than some of 
their competitors, that Canon will always make the best cameras 
because they have more money to spend on R&D etc. I just don't think 
this is the case. In fact truly great products often come from more 
minor players, and the highest amount of latest- and-greatest features 
or the longest list of three-letter abbreviations, is not the same 
thing as making the highest-quality products.
