I believe Larry was just being an ass, mocking those of us who do want a
full-frame DSLR from Pentax.

Sheesh. It's the first update that the flashes have gotten in years,
and it's a feature that no other brand offers. This is a shot across
the bow of Canon and Nikon. The price is completely ridiculous, but I
really don't see how this indicates abandonment of the brand.
The full frame obsession is sickening, and blinds you to any positive
thing that Ricoh does to enhance the brand. Because they don't do the
one thing that you believe is the only thing that they can be
competitive, you dismiss the entire brand as dead. I guess there is
no harsher critic than a fan.

Very interesting. That weather sealing is a very nice features.

Of course, right after I finally buy a DA35 macro, they come out with an
upgraded one.
It's really a shame that Ricoh is abandoning Pentax, and that Pentax as a brand
is
doomed. Imagine the cool stuff we'd be getting if they actually cared about
pentax. Did you notice that the lenses are all DA, and flashes aren't even full
frame flashes? Yet more proof that Pentax is doomed.
