看板 DSLR 關於我們 聯絡資訊
消息來源http://ppt.cc/vuT2 Last week, rumors surfaced on our forum stating that the Pentax K-5 was slowly being discontinued in Japan, and that several stores were no longer carrying it. Today, as unfortunate as it may be, it appears that these rumors were true, and that the K-5 is indeed being discontinued. We have confirmed this with multiple US retailers, and it is further evidenced by the fact that the Pentax K-5 18-55mm kit is now marked as "discontinued" at B&H Photo Video in New York City (it's no surprise that it sold out first at the largest Pentax retailer). 上個禮拜關於K-5在日本停售的流言已經在論壇裡浮現 在日本有些店家已經不再販售K5 現在更多的證據顯示這個流言可能是真的 我們和一些美國零售商確認了這個消息 而紐約的B&H將K-5 18-55mm kit組標上停售則更進一步證實了這個消息 Originally introduced in October, 2010, the K-5 served as Pentax's flagship APS-C DSLR for nearly two years. It was undoubtedly one of the most successful and one of the most-loved Pentax cameras of all time, but that's not to say that it was perfect. Upon the introduction of the mid-range Pentax K-30 DSLR this July, the K-5 started showing its age in many areas, despite being designed to be in a higher price class. 2010年10月推出的K-5是過去近兩年間Pentax的APS-c旗艦機 毫無疑問的 在Pentax歷年來所銷售的各型相機中 K-5位列最成功也最受歡迎的機型之一 當然 這並不是說K-5完美無缺 隨著今年七月中階機身K-30的推出 即便K-5被設定為較高階的機身 它也顯示了有些設計有待改良 Photokina, one of the world's largest photographic trade shows, is coming up in about one month in Cologne, Germany. We have no doubt that the K-5's successor will be announced there, and we simultaneously hope that this successor will build upon the strong points of the K-5 and improve on it where it was lacking, rather than being an entirely new camera (we will report on this live from the event next month). 大約一個月後在德國科隆登場的全球最大攝影商展Photokina 毫無疑問的 我們確信K-5的後繼機身將在該展公開 相較於一台全新的設計 我們希望這台後繼機種能延續K-5的優點並改善它不足的地方 (我們會在該展中持續追蹤相關消息) Even if a successor is announced soon, however, this discontinuation does mean that Pentax will be down to just one DSLR in its entire DSLR lineup for at least two months. After discontinuing the K-r early this year, Pentax lost their intro-level body, and with the discontinuation of the K-5, they no longer have a high-end body, either. This puts Pentax under a great deal of pressure, and may even end up scaring away prospective users due to the dwindling camera selection. It also means that Pentax has decided to keep each camera's production cycle relatively short, rather than following in the footsteps of other DSLR manufacturers, who keep many of their models on the market far longer. For camera buyers, it will also be a shame that the great K-5 prices won't be around for much longer. 即使K-5的後繼機身可能在短期內就會宣布 K-5的停產使得Pentax的單眼產線只剩一台機身在產 今年稍早K-r的停產讓Pentax不再生產入門級的機身 而K-5的停產則讓高階產品線也空出空位 這給了Pentax莫大的壓力 甚至可能嚇走潛在的觀望購買用戶 相較於其它單眼生產商家 這也證明了Pentax決定讓旗下的DSLR擁有較短的產品生產週期 對於相機消費者來說 以漂亮價格銷售的K-5可能在短期內消失也是件很可惜的事 When Ricoh acquired Pentax last fall, they stated that they wanted to become a serious competitor in the DSLR industry. Now, the company is under even more pressure than ever, as both Canon and Nikon are expected to release an intro-level (i.e. affordable) full-frame DSLR at Photokina. If Pentax follows up with an APS-C body at the event and offers no full-frame DSLR in months to follow, they may lose all hope of entering the professional DSLR market. Based on recent trends in the camera industry, it would hardly be surprising if the APS-C DSLR would start being phased out in favor of lineups consisting exclusively of full-frame bodies, with smaller sensors allocated instead for mirrorless and compact cameras. 當去年秋天Ricoh併購Pentax的時候 他們宣布會很認真地在單眼市場和其他廠商競爭 而現在 在Canon和Nikon先後發表入門全幅機種(價格更親人)後 Ricoh則承受了前所未有的壓力 如果Pentax發表的後繼機仍是APS-C規格 而且未在後續數個月內發表全幅機 他們極有很能從此和專業單眼市場告別 而根據最近市場上對於全幅機身和使用較小片幅的無反光鏡機種及高階DC的喜好 APC-S單眼慢慢淡出舞台並不會太讓人意外 We have received rumors which claimed that a Pentax full-frame body has been in development since the spring, but at this point these rumors are hardly reassuring, at least until the other gaps in the Pentax DSLR lineup are filled. While we have no doubts that Pentax cameras will never go away, and that they their quality will remain excellent, we are still keeping our fingers crossed that the Pentax full-frame is around the corner to put Pentax back in the game... 雖然我們有聽聞Pentax從今年春天開始發展全幅機身的流言 但在Pentax把單眼產品線上的其他位階缺口補齊之前 我們很難在現在這個階段證實這些傳言 當然我們確信Pentax絕對不會從市場上消失 他們也將一如往常地生產優秀的產品 但我們仍然希望能聽到Pentax的全幅機已經在角落蓄勢待發 準備將Pentax推回單眼擂台的好消息 In the mean time, if you're still in the market for a Pentax K-5, secure yours now before it's gone forever! 在此同時 如果你還在打算買K-5的話 快下手 停產是殘酷的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.106.92.35
