All of you early adopters can pm me with a ridiculously low price to take your woefully inadequate and out of date K5IIs off your hands

What about a very low mileage K20D with D-BG2 grip?

But who will be the early adopters? Is it going to be lept on by current k5 owners or is a not a big enough leap for them? Will it be the dealbreaker for those like me with older models, or will it bring a new load of 'demanding enthusiasts' to Pentax?

If I had a K-7 or K20D right now I'd be selling someone's gran to get a K-3.But who will be the early adopters? Is it going to be lept on by current k5 owners or is a not a big enough leap for them?

From what Iv'e seen so far, as a K-5 owner, I'd like a K-3 but don't feel my snappings would be improved a huge amount by getting a k-3.
Down to dosh at the end of the day

Hmmm
I just received a Sony RX100 from Amazon which I haven't opened yet.
I thinks, it's going back for a refund. I just cannot not have this.

Might be time for me to go for it but I'm disappointed at the very short length of video recording time before it melts

Nigel you are confusing early adopters with purchasers making decisions based on a rational thought process, need and informed choice.But who will be the early adopters?

It's been a very non-photographic kind of limbo. The sort where I've been completely peed off with trying to take any photographs of anything. Not enough skill (most of the problem), not enough time (also most of the problem), and ongoing disappointment with the K-5 AF speed for fast jets and fast birds (which is mostly what I like photographing the most).
I was thinking seriously about going to Nikon back in the summer, but I tried a D7000 and a friend's D700; didn't like the D7000 much, did like the D700 but what a beast, to say nothing of the incredible expense of going to a system like that. So I crawled back into my hole and then the K-3 rumours started.
It might be just the ticket. I await the reviews with great interest - I'm sure it will be very good indeed, it's just a question of whether it's good enough for the specific things I need. I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up too high just yet. Suffice it to say that if it's what I'm hoping, I shall be looking for people's grannies to sell.

So they might base their buying decision on irrational thought processes, greed not need, and make a completely uniformed choice !
