speak to mr grumpy ( joking ) on the ricoh/pentax stand and he was saying that sales last year was up 30%
where the other 2 are the same
said about the kp should have been mirrorless and he recond it would have floped as that is so flooded with other makes
he also thinks that the othe 2 are going to have a war with each other and some one will lose

We'll have to see how it unfolds. If it becomes the norm then I don't fancy camera gear being chucked around the hold like other stuff can be, although there are specific, very tough cases just for the purpose.
i know there is a rule among the handlers that there is a sertain lugage strap that says treat with care as its one of our own but cant find out what it is

Due to a last minute revision of a change of plan, I am going tomorrow. There are stands I have in mind to visit but I think most posts here have missed the main point and benefit of the show; it is not just about getting bargains (that's what Black Friday and SRS bank holiday deals are for) but to take advantage of handling kit and talking to staff. Unless you live near one of the few really large photography stores it is one of the few occasions you get to actually see and handle stuff.
I agree about handling the gear
It's what's new is there something that is diverant
I may see you there

If you would have been perfectly happy continuing to use the WG-3 then buying another WG camera would seem sensible. It will presumably last you a few years to come and you can look at the market again when it becomes necessary. I don't think we can predict that market as anything available now might be stopped by the time you need it.

Stu62, which 3rd party lens was that?
Re. Mirrorless, I am still underwhelmed by the examples I tried; the image in a Fuji viewfinder had completely blacked out shadows although the recorded image was better, the Olympus viewfinder kept switching to black/white for no obvious reason. The larger examples were surprisingly heavy for their size and no smaller than the KP so with the pentaprism that would win for me no question.
