This together with the K-S1 tells a lot about where they are heading.

They also make photocopiers and quite a few other products. Maybe I should write a whiny blog post about how Sony makes stereo equipment. Those watches look nice if a bit too expensive for my tastes.

No, there is no justifying this. Ricoh goes into the biggest fall photographic manufacturers convention with one entry-level body, an announced standard zoom, two lenses in development, an activity camera, a weatherized entry P/S, and some watches. Watches that do not control anything on the camera, just match their appearance.

Throwing that 20mp sensor in the K-50 body, and calling it the K-60 would have been more interesting. Slight spec bumps in the K-3 would have been interesting. Rerelease a few more 645 lenses, or a couple more Q lenses would be better.

Well, at least we're not Canonites, all they really got was a warmed over 7D replacement.
