Pentax an Olympus engineers need to get together...
I fully agree with all of this Steve

Yes! This is the problem. I've had footage ruined by this system on the K-30, where the software thought the scene was moving..

Olympus being stuck in 4/3 and then also charging more for their lenses than a full-frame lens

Quite.How is that relevant to the topic?
Sony have stabilised video by moving a larger FF sensor during video recording.
Olympus have stabilised video by moving a smaller m4/3 sensor during video recording.
Pentax have been moving sensors since the K100d era, and stabilised video by moving an APS-C sensor during video recording, on the K-5 and K-7 series.
It's all been, or is being done right now, except for Ricoh era Pentax cameras.
That needs to change, and what should be a Pentax strength needs to be reinstated as such.

If Kenspo at PF is to be believed, Ricoh are serious about lifting Pentax out of the dark. The K-3ii is (according to him) about to deliver some surprises.
Well, surprises can be of the good or bad variety, let's hope they are pleasant ones. Certainly the K-S2 has been well received.

I had promised my wife I wouldnīt buy any more new cameras this year too......
I need to stop craving new gear and get on with using what I have, but my lens collection is now way over 20, most of which are old manuals that I will probably never use unless I am mucking about in the house or garden.
Maybe if I clear out most of my unused stuff I can have enough for a new body.....

I've had footage ruined by this system on the K-30, where the software thought the scene was moving..
