I didn't see anything in Ricoh's argument that was persuasive. And that stuff about the optical viewfinder being superior to the mirrorless viewfinder was absurd.




Ricoh is trying hard to justify not making a bunch of mirrorless Pentax models. It's wishful thinking... But it ain't happening.

I used SLRs and dSLRs from 1968 to 2012. I DO NOT MISS THE MIRROR.

Not to hijack the thread or argue, this is more of curiosity.
What can you do on your phone faster and better than you can do on your PC?


Pay bills and banking. Even deposit checks.

Something to think about

https://www.diyphotography.net/ricoh-thinks-photographers-will-start-switching-from-mirrorless-back-to-dslrs-within-1-2-years/

Ricoh thinks people will move away from mirrorless once the novelty wears off, and back to DSLRs.


My favorite quote from that: “Let’s humour him, though. Let’s say, just for a minute, that he’s right. That countless mirrorless owners will switch back to DSLRs in a couple of years. They’re still not going to be buying Pentax.”

Highly derogatory.
Just another President hater lie like you've been doing for over 2 years now.
We don't fall for that crap anymore.


Hey now! It’s almost impossible to make an accurate statement about the president that’s not derogatory.

Not true, not scary, product is not fiction (although your prognostications are fiction). Take any other product and you can make the same invalid prediction. The Lamborghini Aventador at $400,000 is a good deal in the supercar world, but I'm absolutely sure that Ford isn't going to go out of business because the Aventador exists... and I wouldn't trade my pickup truck straight across for an Aventador.


I would trade my Subaru straight up! Then I’d sell the Lamborghini and buy another Subaru! 😜🤪

I've made exactly zero political comments unless there is something I totally misunderstand. Personally, I'm strictly here for the photographic content! The fact that Trump is currently taking a serious look at this company is likely very appropriate although I haven't followed the news closely enough to know for sure.


Trump censorship is political crap that had nothing to do with a sub-par piece of junk post. No relevance.

They can bring out any sort of new stuff but photographers will still stick with their cameras and other gear. People, who don't know much about or have much interest in photography will always go with what's new and can be manipulated with the least amount of effort or mental effort will flock to it.

I think perhaps he meant censure rather than censor, which is exactly what he has done. As noted above, it’s one of the rare issues in which I agree with POTUS 45.

If you can’t get better shots with your D610 than a phone, you need to reconsider your choice of hobbies.

I agree with you before, but after watching reviews like this, I have second thoughts.
It is about the latest Huawei P30 Pro, the camera features.

I am sorry to see that most people replies are about Dslr vs any smart phones without the knowledge of the said model.
If you think the zoom/iso capability of your gears is better, please let me know what are they, how much money and weight.

I don't think it's just hype. It's claimed that they've embedded code in their router firmware to provide data ciphoning and back door access. Quite a security threat.

Yeah, not very convincing. Sure it zoomed a long way, but show me the actual images. Nothing was sharp and the dynamic range sucked. The worst thing these was they perpetrated the worst crime of cell phone cameras, vertical video
