Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

Lots might say they are waiting for the Pentax, but I wonder how many will actually buy one. And how many will complain about it.
Interesting to see that the majority want a mirrorless though.

Some people will find something to complain about it, however good it may be.....not enough pixels, too many pixels, poor video, no flash, too much noise, AF not up to scratch, not mirrorless, too big, too small, wrong colour etc. etc. I can just see them hovering over their keyboards already.........

the reality is that camera tech is moving more towards mirrorless and thats the direction Pentax need to move in too. Pentax could learn a lot from Fuji & Sony in terms of adaptors for other mounts being made by third parties.
I'd throw Olympus in there also, as they've done really well with their retro line. Pentax has as strong, if not stronger history line to that type of popular retro camera.
I'd love to see a Pentax take on one of those.
As for any new Pentax, I can't afford one.
I hope they release a solid performer, devoid of their recent need to include something random as a world first in every release. These often seems tacky and get hammered in reviews (LEDs in the grip anyone?) Good and solid works for me, or would if I could afford it any time soon.
New CPU/processing chip may have more video features built in. That will be one to watch, maybe 4k but hopefully they resume real sensor based stabilisation during video. The loss of this was a shocker, having had it working really well previously on the K-7/K-5 models.

2) I'm a Canon user and I don't care about the 1D X II (10.8%)
3) I'm a Nikon user and I'm excited about the D5 (13.1%)
4) I'm a Nikon user and I don't care about the D5 (9.9%)
5) DSLR is yesterday's news. Bring on the pro mirrorless! (38.9%)
6) Canon? Nikon? I'm waiting for the Pentax full-frame (14.2%)
Sample to date: 5,375
So, slightly more DLSR users are interested in the Pentax FF than the latest Canon & Nikon. Maybe because if things run to form it will be cheaper.
