Officially K-3?

For some reason Pentax has put off making a full frame camera why I don't know ? please please please don't bore me with the ff and crop I am fed up with hearing that.

There is a big market for ff just look at Nikon, canon and Sony and some of the others so come on Pentax pull your pants up and stop p ing around with this rubbish or you will lose out on a big market

Well when the k5ii and the k5iis came out there was a £150.00 difference but people still bought the k5iis went for the iis rather then the k5ii ??

Sorry i bored you shaun with why i am in a quandary.

If you want full frame badly then swap systems as pentax arent going to release a full frame body fir at least a year now, but to get a full frame with the specs of the k-3 you are going to have to get a 5d mkiii because apart from the ff sensor the d610 cant compete against the k-3.

I cant decipher what you are saying here

sorry Gary didn't mean it like that but yes I have been looking at swapping systems and looking at what Pentax as just pushed out looks so this looks like I will be getting the D800E here I come I didn't want to but I will not I think the move is a wise one.
looks like Pentax don't look at what their or there people really want ??

It's just come on to the Ricoh UK website: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.uk/en/digital-slr/K3.html

ok here we go well when the k5ii and the k5iis came out one cost £1050.00 and the other cost £900.00 but people bought the £1050 as it had the AA filter on it? so the money was no object? was it as the AA filter that paid off so my point is more people would have bought the new k if it had the ff? get it ???

Well, I for one couldn't care less about full frame, so the K-3 is far more appealing to me than if they'd announced something with a bigger sensor. So maybe they have listened to all the people who think the K-5 (various models) is superb, but could be made even better with a more flexible autofocus system, more flexible drive modes, even better high ISO performance (hoping about that one), even better dynamic range (fingers crossed there too), focus peaking, better video capabilities etc.

It was probably the more achievable goal, rather than a complete redesign that FF would entail, even it it did use large chunks of the current models in its design. It's surely on its way, but this one was easier.
