you see a lot of shit like this here, yet for example Canon just came out with a shitty 6D mark II that they KNOW is going to sell even though it's barely an improvement

Ricoh is doing just fine to keep Pentax afloat

etc.

The focus on dslr is photography, the focus on milcs is both photography and video. Many of us understand and will not deny this. That dslrs don't even offer a reasonable compromise of video and dslrs are also missing possibilities of optical viewfinders, makes them the market losers. It's the innovations for milcs in photography, which make them even more interesting. As I'm only consumer and no professional and I'm supposing so are you, we won't be even bothered with the few typical quirks and reproaches with milc compared to dslr photography.
It's certainly not a bad idea of conventional companies to offer dedicated devices for the professional market. However, without having more insight, I hardly believe that professionals are able to carry the conventional camera market.

Having said this, I'll buy Canons 6D2 at a price tag of 1300 bucks in used condition. First I don't want to spend more money on an upgrade or a system change, second because of my father and some friends which feel more comfortable with Canon. They also feel comfortable using their cameras in an unchanged manner for the last 10 years and more, regardless of new features and increased quality or dr.

Since I am not sure about my statements, I'd be happy if others joined the discussion.
English is not my first language. I've already deleted and corrected this post..

>I've been seeing a influx of 'Pentax is doomed' posts

/p/ doesn't really know it's arse from a hole in the wall, most of them refuse to look beyond their own self-obsessed bubble. If a company does something that they don't agree with or want to buy, said company is doomed.

Most of them just want feature crammed toys. Features like: I can put it in my pocket, I can shoot movies of the cat in 4k or I can shoot 20 frames per second with out shutter blackout ... How long is the shutter blacked out for when you are shooting 20 frames per second? Do you even notice it?

They are certainly not interested in a durable and reliable tool that some people might want to take into the big dangerous world outside and actually take photographs with.

Pentax is a long established brand and it isn't going anywhere. If the worst comes to the worst another company will step in and buy it.

I hope Pentax dies so I can cop a K-1 and ff glass for cheap

This.

I have a mirrorless Sony but would LOVE to own a rugged K1 and nice lens for landscapes in the backcountry. IBIS, weather sealing, nice controls, beautiful IQ for like half the price of A7Rii

>durable and reliable
I have trouble to focus exactly on the eyes at wide apertures. Also, I often end up with centered compositions as the Canikon lineup has only center arranged focus points.
At least for the A7RII, focus on people is a thing you don't have to deal with, as face detection hits the eye perfectly even through glasses. I don't expect the af to be reliable in hard backlight, however, this is a problem I had on either system and, in contrast to a dslr, you are able to manually focus in magnification then.

Burst, blackout and silent shutters don't bother me. 4k can be interesting because of downsampling

Shitty lens, but I've just seen they've also introduced this to their dslt flagship.
