I thought it was lovely, the way the tree branches curved around that path making a tunnel. But then I noticed the words 'fisheye filter effect' and that kind of killed it for me!

Lumix is the brand name for Panasonic cameras. The forum for Panasonic Lumix cameras is called... Lumix G Forums. Not Panasonic forums. Pentax is the brand name Ricoh are retaining for their DSLR range. So this forum can stay 'Pentax User'.

...(His primary reason for switching was AF problems though so I wonder if the K3 had been launched sooner, he might have stayed with Pentax )

A lot of people excel with an APS-C sensor. The size of the sensor doesn't improve the photographer.

Just ask Benjikan.

The same Benjikan who just went FF and is crowing all over the forums about the uplift in image quality?

But who will be the early adopters? Is it going to be lept on by current k5 owners or is a not a big enough leap for them?

K5ii no, K5 mk1 owners probably if AF and video matters, K7 owners definitely. Not sure about K30 owners like myself. It's certainly nice that there are good upgrade options!

Think it's slightly larger Nigel, hence a new grip is needed.

Focus peaking yay! Well I already have this on my el cheapo K30 but nice to know.

Same reason Ricoh are keeping the Pentax name up front, perhaps? Mind you, Ricoh are no Fiat; they have quite a bit of credibility right now.

If Panasonic cameras sport a great big LUMIX logo on the 'prism', why shouldn't Ricoh cameras use the PENTAX trademark in the same way? Plus on the lenses too. It makes marketing sense to me.

This goes back to the old days where Pentax was a trademark of the AOC, not the name of the company itself.

I think we should be glad, not sad. Ricoh are putting their name front and centre, along with that big letter 'K', and this suggests they are serious about vamping up the Pentax range and investing in the K mount.

At least all these recent changes suggest they have some sort of joined-up plan, and are enthusiastic, unlike the previous owners
