Seen here many times in regards to Pentax is argument about using manual lenses, come on Gents, it may work for a group of people, in some situations, but it is not what is going to sell system to wider audience, not what is going to make this product usable in all situations where people may want to use it, simply this is not enough.
Pentax can't also rely on the legacy of old lenses and neglect need of introducing new lenses that are missing from portfolio and could perform well against competition, thanks to that they are still niche product, unfortunately not because of great qualities, features packaged into not very well known name - just because system doesn't compare that well to others for large group of potential users.
Some of you may think it is a bit of overstatement - but exactly in the way some of you try to say system is good enough because you can find some old, manual lenses on second-hand market.
I think Pentax has to take a brave decision and if next generation product (i.e. why carry that massive mirror box as people used for many years ) needs new mount, new lenses, new design - just do it (hopefully they are already working on it and will surprise us i.e. next year), just don't stop half way and produce competitive portfolio of lenses and cameras, otherwise it will be a fail.

Looks fine on my PC, are you seriously expecting an internet ad purporting to show 7 fps frames on the rear LCD to look like HDTV or something????
Yes I do expect prepared marketing ad to look great! - this is the purpose of it, it is not some beginner doing some DIY to show it on youtube, somebody takes money for it, somebody accepts it and pays for it, this is not real photo session hence possibility to make things look better than they are, here is rather opposite (or maybe just honest ).

What a bad marketing, around 0:52sec they show off with continues shooting - by taking pics of a plane, just after that they go through couple of frames, first looks ok as expected, then the rest is not in focus or blurry, not at all "crisp pictures of a fast moving subject" as they advertise...
