I think Rice High has earned the reputation and rights to bash Pentax as much as he wants. He has been using Pentax for over 20 years. He has the insights and knowledge. You have what? Yoda? It is a joke that you were actually mentioned in his blog. I think he did you a big favor. I just hate someone pretending they know photography with only a few years of experience. Not only that, bashes the more experienced guy. And bashing about your Indian friend who didn't pay you in a public forum...very very low of you. Did you tell them your fees upfront? Or you were concern if you had done so, they wouldn't ask you to be the photographer? OK, enough bashing from me today.

If you are not a Pentax fanboy, why do you care what others are saying about Pentax? People bashes Canon and Nikon all the time, why don't you defend them too in your blog :)

@Henry, thank you so much for the inputs. It is very invaluable to me to get a sense and guidance that I need from my valuable readers. I thank you for your time. Anonymous in previous comment is an indication that I am onto something not favorite to 2 and perhaps more of my valuable readers. I appreciate both of your honesty, which I highly valued.

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the needed improvement on AF. It is the #1 lacking that I see in Pentax with K20D. I have wishful thinking that the K-7 is a step in the right direction for Pentax/Hoya.

I would have to disagree with you on the color selection in K-x. It is an entry level cameras and I embrace the bold move for offering choices. But I see it as something an logistic nightmare for manufacturing and somewhat not-well-planned out push to have 100 colors combination. I certainly don't like to see different treatment from Japan, US, UK, Europeand other countries. I request Pentax to be a globally responsible company that serves its customers with courtesy and extend features and service without physical boundaries.

RiceHigh is a respected blogger of mine though I disagree quite strongly how he goes about echoing/magnifying known issues and problems on a daily basis. It is very unfortunate that issues and problems are more attractive than the positive progress that Pentax has achieved in K20D, K-m and K-7. Yes, there are issues with Pentax and but echoing it everywhere that draw unfair criticism from Pentaxian and non-Pentax community are doing more harm than good.

Clarification: I am not begging and trashing in my blog as that is not my intent.
I love Pentax but I am no fanboy of Pentax. If Canon or Nikon has an SR body or the limited prime lens that Pentax offer, I will be drooling all over. Again, your points and valuable opinions are well taken by me and your opinions as well as others who comment will shape how I plan my blogging.

I sorta agree! What happened to you Hin Man? I have been reading your blog and posts on photo.net and Pentax Forum for a while now and whatever you are trying to do, it seems very unlike you and very very weird. Don't worry about what others say about Pentax, it is not worth it. I bet many of your readers who don't know Rice High are now reading his blog. I believe content is king so more equipments review is what I love about this blog, not complaining about what others have said about Pentax. We are different, Pentaxians are nice, friendly, who are serious about photography.

Hopefully Yoda would guide you to the right path on becoming Pentax Jedi....ok, that's weird too :)

P.S. I actually agree with RH and personally feel that Pentax is leaving serious photographer out to dry by focusing some of the resources on the color options. Is that how they want to attract and keep customers? C'mon how about better AF Pentax??? This little marketing stun really further cheapen Pentax's tradition. That Nikon D300s and Canon 7D looks real good to me...hmmmm..

Point well taken from you. All the best!

No, I am not interested. I am actually leaving your blog due to your recent blogging trend. I enjoyed your equipments review but it seems that you are trying to generate more traffic at all cause, including begging and trashing others.

Good luck!

I welcome your visit and comment. It is interesting that you brought up that I acted like a teenager. That is exactly what you are missing in your mental mind. I take that as a surprising complement and you have unknowninly made my day much happier. It is just too bad that you forget to leave your name as I would include all people who have subscribed to my blog, have made valuable suggestions, offered comments in any of my blog posts, to have my first give away planned in either year end or Thanksgiving. Perhaps as early as Halloween. The gift items are finalized as

1. [sure] A brand new REI Ultrapod II tripod -- I wish I can order a few for gifts for future use as well as gift to special friends.

2. [sure] A brand new SpectraLight Flash Light Diffuser which I highly recommend for newbie strobist like me.

3. [maybe] A used film camera such as Pentax SuperProgram or a M42 camera with new a new roll of film and battery. Idea is to experience film

Thanks again! It is not too late to comment, bash&trash, subscribe and suggest. All you need is a name to put in. No need to tell me the email. Just a unique name that you pick out.

For people who don't want to reveal themsellf, use a unique ID that you come up to identify yourself -- creativity and uniqueness will help you way more than the default "anonymous."

Get a life, play with your kids! It's amazing what so many people does online these days to make pennies. Camera is just a tool, it is not worth spending any adult time (yes, you are acting like a teenager) defending it or anything fanboys do to support the companies. You have already supporting them by paying for the equipments. Definitely not worth losing any sleep or brain cells over.
