Time will tell.
There are many reasons why we prefer one brand over another, be it size & weight, performance, speed, cost or just IQ.
Pentax price increases will only deter existing customers/users. Potential customers may now look past the similar price figures to see what else differentiates the brands. Options may include the lenses available, flash systems, third party compatibility (e.g. Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 ) etc. So yes, a brave move by Ricoh.
Mark makes a valid point about size and weight of kit. However, it is difficult to produce things like 135 format fast lenses that are physically similar to APS-C units, if not even impossible. Just imagine how much weight a 645D user with several lenses in tow has to manage.

They have been for years as every ISP had to install equipment at their own cost to mirrior all traffic to MI5. Alongside that there is Echelon.Seems like the government are going to snoop into our emails.

I didn't understand how the 1650mm came into it as any lens in front of any sensor cant change focal length hence I assumed you meant FOV.

The Pentax Q with K-mount adaptor is a very interesting prospect as it would be the equivalent of something like a 3.5x teleconverter (compared to APS-C).
1650mm (rough 35mm equivalent) at F/4 anybody? Get yourself a DA* 300 and a Pentax Q...
Sounds good. How many elements are in the K mount adapter or do you mean equivalent FOV.The Pentax Q with K-mount adaptor is a very interesting prospect as it would be the equivalent of something like a 3.5x teleconverter (compared to APS-C).

I've said it at least twice before, the IQ of Pentax jpg's straight from the camera have yet to be bettered, IMO. A very close second to Pentax is the X100. Even the IQ of the original Konica Minolta DSLR's are very good, Sony took the life of of them.
Since this post started, I have actually recommended a Kr to a work colleague who is looking to buy his first DSLR, so no conversion.
