Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: K-New is Delayed

K-New is Delayed

See what Mr Tanaka said a few hours ago:

https://www.twitter.com/thisistanaka/status/1317335422540763136

Google translation of his post as follows:

"It seems that the next model of PENTAX, for example, will be "a little later" than my expected (expected) release date.

I wanted to get it quickly and try it, but I can't help it. Do you want to be patient and wait? As with other manufacturers, given the circumstances surrounding cameras today, we will have to struggle to make better ones."

Pentax (Ricoh) is really helpless and sad these days.

Yes, it seems hopeless. If Pentax (Ricoh) realized they can't meet the release date, for whatever reason, then they should have updated their release date, and preferably accompanied the update with a good excuse. But: NOTHING.

What release date are you referring to? They have never announced one in the first place.

That's even worse. I mean Tanaka's "expected release date". The one which exists and which he knows. It is even worse that Pentax didn't / doesn't provide that one to the public. A clear sign that things go completely out of control, i.e. who is doing what and when with what success at Pentax? That's chaos rather than management.

I indeed saw the news very shortly after it was published but I had zero interest to report that in my Blog. The K-3 III is actually a long-awaited (and repeated delayed) product without any innovation and good meaning in practical use, but with a too high price tag.

Yup, the K-3 III will re-define the term "sales desaster" for Pentax, will become most likely their worst-sold item ever (after their mirrorless K-01). I.e. purchased (and maybe defended) only by very very few, very very die-hard fanboys or collectors only.
