Pentax FF Dead, Maybe
Well with a reported 40%+ decline in US camera sales I would not be surprised if this were true, seems a logical step back in what would be a very expensive R&D/production program with no guarantee of success.

I'm still hopeful that Pentax release a ff dslr that way we can get back to whinging about the lack of long lenses most of us could not afford even if more existed :twisted: More seriously, I am content to sit back and wait to see what happens, it is entirely possible that if Pentax do release an...

> I think I'd rather see them continue to develop and refine the good APSC bodies... - brand new SAFOX XIIIi+ focus technology; - two more megapixels!!! - five more cross type AF sensors!!! - Super HDR... DSLRs reached point where there is enough megapixels to print out 10x15cm pictures. E...

As for 10x15cm prints,well you could do that easily with a 0.5MP camera. I doubt! :roll: 18mpix is minimum! What? for a tiny 10cm x15cm print. That's the size of the tiny prints that came back from the chemist which is approx A6 size. Of course you don't need 18MP to print @ A6

I looked up some advice for a good resolution for a 4"x6" ( 10x15cm) print and 300dpi was recommended. 1200x1800px. Just over 2.1MP should do it then. What DPI do you peeps print at? I think these days for many jobs 300dpi may be more than needed. I've read that 240 is commonly used, even a...

back to FF .... .... Pentax film SLRs have been very, what I could call, compact. Perhaps Pentax should makes something that looks like the Pentax MX-1, has Pentax K mount like the Pentax K-01 and has the, cough, Sony 24MP FF sensor. Hmmmmm Pentax!

Absolutely, and the backwards compatibility was an important factor for me. However, it reduces an important revenue stream for Pentax and, for average punters in shops without a lot of legacy lenses, there is a wider and more accessible selection of modern lenses in other mounts, even though K may...

We're saying the same thing. I'm arguing for a mirrorless FF camera with a new mount (and adapter for K lenses) but there is no sense in changing the mount for dSLR bodies, APSC or FF. my appologies, I thought it was you arguing for a new mount in APS-c earlier in the thread, that'll teach me for n...

The A7 could be a great camera for Pentax Users who love their MF primes. Using the full imaging circle and having focus peaking in the EVF would make it a better partner for these lenses than any Pentax camera. And of course you won't be restricted by the K mount ;P

A big driver of this will be the video component, as that essentially uses live view every time. If that is the focus there is simply no need for a mirror/optical viewfinder at all. I'm in the camp too that I prefer an optical viewfinder and I personally also don't think that it necessarily adds...
