What's with all the anti-Pentax misinfo lately?

>When I read beat-ups like this I really wish Petapixel would stick to what it does well - aggregate stories from other news sites. Actually writing stuff is not its strong suite. The Nikkei story this links to doesn't even contain the word 'camera' - it's entirely about the printer group. The original Nikkei story about rumours that Ricoh might drop cameras was immediately denied in an official statement. But anyone reading the story above would think twice about ever purchasing a Pentax camera, so strong is the implication that Pentax cameras are under a cloud. This kind of uninformed, unresearched, off-the-cuff speculation can really hurt the industry Petapixel lives off.

>I thought this exactly after reading this article. The Ricoh Imaging and Solutions division (printers, scanners, copiers, office equipment, etc ) is seperate from Ricoh Imaging Company Ltd (who run the Pentax brand). The Nikkei report was pretty clear that the sales force was likely to take a hit in the Imaging and Solutions division, but mentions nothing about Ricoh Imaging Company Ltd. I think it was far too easy for the writer of this article conflate the two without at least doing a cursory glace to see that they're different parts of the company.

/p/ is a small community of mostly poor hobbyists.

Neither the usual everymoment snapshot attention whoring social network crowd, nor the professional photographers. For these, there are other places with way more activity.

Because photography is a much smaller niche than /tv/ or /mu/ or /v/ or /a/ etc. relative to other boards. Just look at how low we are in new threads and posts.

>mlp is higher

disgusting

I get that you're just fooling around, but i feel required to say that large activity is, at least in my experience, inversely correlated with quality. Most fast-moving boards are shit, and many slow-moving ones have a higher level of discourse.

Here in /p/, we've got both. We've got a slow board with tons of shitposting!
