I think a lot of people on here are confusing Pentax which is a CAMERA with a CAMERA SHOP

If you want bits of Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fuji etc you look for them in a CAMERA SHOP NOT IN A CAMERA CALLED PENTAX!

Probably only got one of them bendy leg mini-tripods

The focus breathing in this bit is the worst I've ever seen and Richard keeps asking for video AF to be included in Pentax cameras ...

A big problem with elements close to the sensor is that any dust will be picked up by the sensor. Nikon Z users are going to have to keep their rear elements spotless

Some 300mm Pentax lenses don't have a tripod clamp. Plus smaller lenses are becoming heavier i.e. D-FA 50mm f/1.4

One big disadvantage in reducing the space behind the lens is that it makes 'FUTURE DEVELOPMENT' of things like tilting lenses and filtration almost impossible.

Pentax are probably unique in having quite a bit of composition shift/adjustment available via the floating sensor.

Sony's only have rear screen tilt in one direction which makes it useless in portrait mode. The K-1 has it in both directions.

The Pentax K-1 + D-FA 50mm f/1.4 + Pixel Shift is probably the sharpest FF camera on the market today.

I've not looked too close, but the Canon camera looks not quite up to the job

Pentax still make a hell of a lot of gear

I might as well re-post something I posted in another forum....

Having a thinner body isn't an advantage with a lot of 'Big Boys Lenses'

If the rear element is set back into the lens body, such as with a lot of zooms and all long telephotos. The lens body can't be shortened and has to be even longer or use an adapter. That's the last thing I'd want. Even longer lenses especially on an unbalanced system.

On a Sony the tripod bush is very close to the front of the camera leaving only a small area to handle the compression when it's on a tripod with a long lens. So a mount on the lens is essential.

Pentax DSLR's have it right

You might have a thinner body, but the hand grip part usually has to be a lot thicker and the advantage of the thin body is is lost when several of your lenses have to be about 30mm longer. (Nikon mount).

Example this 400mm is 200mm long it would be 230mm for a mirrorless mount.

Very interesting finding. Looks useful.

Sony colours are terrible...

https://petapixel.com/2018/10/09/is-sonys-color-science-really-that-bad/

Their Pixel Shift is a monstrous pig to use...

Their water resistance still resembles a leaky boot...

Their lens mount was designed for APS-C..... unless they looked into the future.

I could go on, but I'm bored
