CES Live Show Reports at Dpreview

There is no "stand report" for Pentax Ricoh so far at the DPR, but if you are interested in the latest photographic products news of the other manufacturers and brands, click the DPR link below. I think the stand reports are nicely compiled:-

It should be noted that the old PMA has been over and now the CES is the old PMA, as combined. So, when some Pentax "supporters" are arguing that the CES show is "unimportant", just think about if the PMA was important or not. Btw, the following is quoted from the introductory post at the front page of the DPR:-

"This year's CES is the most significant yet for the photo industry (since what remains of the old PMA show is now part of CES), and we've already seen some major announcements from camera manufacturers. As usual we will be providing frequent and detailed coverage of product announcements at CES as well as a live 'from the show floor' report."

Nonetheless, I am still waiting for the stand and live show report for Pentax Ricoh by the DPR. But it seems that they are not really interested. But it could be a chicken-n-egg problem after all - If/When there is nothing interesting to report at the booth, why should they bother? >:-o

Why should Pentax bother? Well, if Ricoh and Pentax have no new products to show, the very least they can do is to say something positive, however vague and however far away in the future. I cannot see any other situation when it is so important to do this, since people are concerned about the future of Pentax after it was sold, and when DSLR/s are discontinued with no news of replacement models even in this CES/PMA. How much does it cost and how difficult is it to come up with some lip service or something better than total silence on prducts and the future to give some hope to potential buyers and existing owners? How about just saying something totally non-commital, like there are various camera model designs being researched? Is Ricoh really so naive not to realise that it is important to say something? This seems very unlikely for such a huge international company. What could this mean?
Strange move from Pentax (or Ricoh or whoever is calling the shots)
I'm not convinced that Ricoh are competent enough to make the DSLR division work
I don't care anyway I just sold my Pentax stuff and bought a Nikon.

They actually keep their models current!
