Everything today is an effort in cost-cutting

Today you're bitching about cost cutting. Yesterday you were bitching
about high prices. Tomorrow you'll be bitching about the use of
plastic.

No, I've always disliked the use of plastic. But as for high prices
and cost-cutting, they have nothing to do with each other, if you
think about it. A solidly-made camera body (Pentax K5) produced for a
fair price isn't the same as $2000 for a prime lens that could cost
$1000.00, with NO cuts to material quality. When companies cut to the
bone however, they are pandering to cheap *******s who will fight
tooth and nail to save $20 on a $1000 purchase. Losers. The kind who
will mount a $2000 camera on a $50 tripod, or use a $15 filter on a
$1000 lens or who will use a $10 non-speed rated SD card in a DSLR.

WTF are you ranting about.
What are you qualifications for drawing your conclusions.
What is the supportable factual basis for your conclusions.

Do you even begin to understand cost accounting. If so, please explain
your calculations. Does Pentax give you access to this inside information.

The only thing that keeps it going is you replying to it. Don't ask
rational things of it. Ignore it.

No, I've always disliked the use of plastic.

And you've always disliked paying for more expensive materials.

You are an idiot.

"Fair price" from you has always meant "much cheaper than what it
costs to make". At heart you're a whiny communist.

It isn't the cost of the material (magnesium, aluminum) that causes the
higher prices, it's the machining. Dimwit.

Brilliant.

I never said the Pentax should be cheaper, IMO, it is the best offering
in its price range.

You are a hypocrit who spouts leftist B.S. at every turn.

Machining magnesium and aluminum is more expensive than molding
plastics, dumbass. It's still the material that causes the higher
costs that you whine about.

Thanks.

So that would make the new Sigma SD1 the trifecta of bitching. Yes, it
