They don't need more choices, they need a broader range. It sounds silly but there is a big difference there, they could make ten different entry models and you would have more choices.
Maybe they should make a Canon 7D competitor but that would be it. And then simply every two year bring out a new camera to replace the previous one and improve with added features customers asked for.

Why would you want to go 135 format, what are you missing?

Gary indeed for the high-end market but the entry level is literary littered with models.

Here is something interesting Simplicity vs. Choice
Around 10 minutes in it's about jam that you could test.
One boot had 6 types and the other 24 types.
The 6 types stand had fewer samples, 40% stopped during testing and 30% bought
The 24 types stand had more samples, 60% stopped and 3% bought, now that says something.
Maybe that's why Apple is so successful with their portable devices and did the K-X so well?

Forgot the video link

It indeed does seem lonely but it does make it always special when you meet another Pentax user, I believe this was discuss in another thread recently.

Talking about advertising, I've never seen one here from Pentax

Maybe we can be more selective.
BMW and Honda drivers seems to be the most aggressive in the traffic maybe we should ban those?
As for photography, well Canon, Nikon and Sony come to mind, I mean have you ever seen a criminal Pentax shooter? well there you've it, all other brands should be make illegal

The teasers

I hope they are a good size so, 100px on the longest side.

And the word Europe

Still the Pentax 645D is a release and a significant one for Pentax, it's their most aimed professional DSLR ever.
It also comes with a new DFA645 55mm lens and a new DFA645 wide angle is announced so they haven't sit still at least.

I've the idea that they are going to test the European market reaction on the 645D at Photokina and the PMA is there in the beginning next year for the USA market.
World wide release of the 645D around April maybe with the new wide angle lens as well?

I wonder if the rumours are true over the K5 and such.

At least I'm happy Pentax don't have a new model for each range every year, just look at Sony, Nikon and Canon, you don't know what to choose any more

Pentax 645D was released this year.

So if you make photographers, children are at risk and bombs might go off?

Isn't it the way how people use a device that makes it good or bad?

I mean guns can be used for hunting and it provides food, but you can also kill someone with it, should we therefore stop using guns?
Cars bring you from A to B but you can also drive over someone, should we stop using cars as well?

Can you name something that can't be used in a wrong way?

Thank you fritzthedog, I thought rulings had a different mean so hence my question.

It's indeed silly how things are going wrong and like you said it isn't just the police. It's almost like a downward spiral, this only going to get worse if they keep being so paranoid and over protective with their children.
The children will probably be more paranoid when they get old because of all that and ect, ect.

If you don't thrust what someone is doing, is it so strange to ask that someone what he/she is doing?
It must be really hard to talk to strangers if you need to call the police to ask if they can ask what you're doing
