Pentax Full Frame, Will it ever happen.
A friend of mine has just sold all his Pentax kit including his new K5iis to purchase a Nikon D600 and the new Sigma 35mm f1.4. .... I would love to prove to him that he has made the wrong decision I'm not sure about 'wrong', but you might get him on 'impulsiveness'. It does seem odd to me to buy a...

Pentax Full Frame, Will it ever happen.
All the signs point to a full frame camera being developed. I believe there will be a full frame camera within the next year or at least a date for release. Not so long ago there was the info from/about Tokina who were developing more full frame lenses (a 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8) for Pentax. I w...

Pentax Full Frame, Will it ever happen.
For me its not the lack of a 'full frame' camera that would cause me to change systems / shoot 2 systems but the availability of lenses and autofocus speed for tracking / my kids running towards me. If the K5 sensor was in the 7D I would have bought one without any hesitation and would be using m...

I suspect that IF Pentax produced a camera with a 35mm sized sensor (I refuse to call it 'full frame' because the expression is meaningless and as absurd as 'crop factor') it will be more like the 645d in form than any of the k cameras.

Pentax Full Frame, Will it ever happen.
The area of the FF size is about 2.34 times larger than the Pentax APS-C sensor. So if you want to keep the same quality as present you should have about 37mP on a FF sensor. This way, you don't loose any quality when cropping it (possibly in the camera) back to the APS-C size. There is no reas...

Why should that be rubbish. On the contrary. My example was to show, that to get the same resolution as the current Pentax APS-C A 37mP are required. Regards, Horst The pixel density is much lower than that of the 36.3 MP Nikon D800 as the 645D sensor is 44 x 33mm as opposed to 35.9 x 24mm Jo...

To avoid implict assumptions in the poll could you change the option from "Will not upgrade" to simply "Do not want?". For me at least, in these days of improving sensors, an unnecessary change going to the increased bulk of 35mm sensor bodies would be a downgrade rather than an upgrade. Four ...

There is really no reason why it should be somewhat larger, if at all then say the K5 is. All it needs is a larger sensor and a larger mirror. But this should fit in to the existing body size. The Film cameras had the full 35mm size and a larger mirror and Pentax often had very small bodies. You ...

The inbuilt flash is often pretty useless; its light often suffers with a shadow caused by the lens! Given the high ISO's obtainable now just how often is a flash a necessity, and with the reduced noise from a sensible FF sensor (probably not 37mp) no doubt even less. John K

........ an unnecessary change going to the increased bulk of 35mm sensor bodies would be a downgrade rather than an upgrade. Four or five years ago with the state of the sensor art as it was then I might have considered sacrificing portability for that extra sensor area but not now. And with e...

Pentax Full Frame, Will it ever happen.
The humble pop-up can indeed be very effective. I have one on the D800 and use it now and again as fill - it is very effective (even when birding if I don't have the BEtter Beamer to hand, it is surprisingly powerful). It is a good thing that Pentax keep it on all their cameras and long may it conti...

If a FF sensor were to be fitted in a camera close to the size of my K5, I'd have it .... but only once I'd had full use of my K5. I don't feel the smaller sensor is a constraint on what I do. I agree, provided it was not too expensive. Anyone know for sure why Canon and Nikon FF cameras are so ...

Yeah it looks quite a bit bigger to me too, I was taking Kevin's word for it as someone who had handled both cameras. True about Canikon crop sensor cameras... try comparing the 7D for instance -http://camerasize.com/compare/#154,378
