Hey, I'd like to see a 24x36mm sensor Pentax too. If they change the
lens mount as some have been calling for, it kind of defeats the purpose
from my point of view.

I wasn't *just* being an ass, I was also being humorous. And
I was not mocking people who want a Pentax with a 24x36 sensor,
I am strongly in that camp myself. I was mocking those who
treat any announcement that isn't an upcoming full frame DSLR
as tangible proof that Pentax as a brand is doomed, and anyone
who uses Pentax cameras will shortly be consigned to the dustbin
of irrelevance.

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.
