Of course not. To win an award, you have to show off some form of useful innovation, or other suprising strengths.
However, with Pentax it is going downhill. The K-1 II even didn't get a humble silver award at DPReview. And it didn't deserve one, if we are totally honest and forget about wearing our fanboy glasses for a moment.
The KP is unlucky as well, it is one full camera class too expensive.
The aging 645Z gets crushed by Fuji GFX, where Fuji is said to come up with yet another new medium format, even cheaper than before.
Yay, finally the K-1 II got an award at least somewhere.
In DPReviews' "Best and Worst of 2018" wrap-up, the K-1 II made it to #2 in the category of the worst camera of the year. #1 was Yashica Y35, a plastic toy camera mimicking sixties retro. #3 was the Fuji XF10 point'n'shoot with its bad autofocus
That Canadian guy used to be a Pentax lover but now suddenly he ranked the K-1 II as the second worst camera of the year after he was employed by the DPR. :-O
I'm still using my K1 first edition. Great camera. I didn't bother upgrading. If Pentax fails, they'll be no new lenses, but sad it's taken this long to get even a new 85mm lens.
Logging you in...
