CES 2016 has been and gone.

So the key questions are:-

1) Is the info. from a reliable source (unclear) and its non-appearance due to Pentax delaying its release for some reason (e.g. to sort out quality control issues)?
or
2) Is it just someone's feature wish list?

Hmm. Given the specs. they do seem similar to that rumoured fr the FF K-1. I wonder if the video poster was referring to that and got the name wrong. That is due shorly.

Well there weren't many rumours for long about the coming FF before it was confirmed, so I'd totally buy in to any new Pentax camera suggestion unreservedly...

I can see Pentax updating the K-3 with K-1 technology, but I think they'd be shooting themselves in the foot to some degree if they release it within a couple of months f the FF.

A new top-spec APS-C model would be good later on to reassure customers that APS-C is still very much a part of the plan, even for "pro" models.

Obviously so fake and obviously pure Click bait for his google adsense account. (If you have ADBLOCK installed you may not see the ads that play before his video)
Just another damn YouTube troll.

Yes Pentax has traditionally been very strong in this arena. Now that others have updated their offerings Pentax needs to return strong again.
