IF it is the mentioned Sony, I understand Pentax have to wait six months after Sony to use it themselves for licencing reasons. Presumably it would be able to have a 16Mp crop setting for the relevant lenses.
1001 Noisy cameras is an amusing source of such stuff along with Rice High. Personally I'm enjoying the 'old' K5 kit I've had for the last couple of months. I doubt I'll ever as an amateur be able to afford such a body or lenses or even justify it. I'd have the 645 if rich. Now that's what I call 'full frame'

To my mind a camera called K3 would make more sense as a K5 replacement (a Canon 7d level camera), and that's what the US forum is expecting. It could be wishful thinking, but there is also a consensus view that a FF will also be announced later this year. I wouldn't be surprised.

Whatever's coming, if the k30 is anything to go by, it'll be good!

It's always best to expect the unexpected

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Our first weapon is surprise! Our second weapon is a Pentax FF Camera!!!

Just my thoughts. CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.
Looking at it the other way round, if you want a square you can crop your images square. I often do and it fills an ePHOTOzine space very nicely at 1000x1000 pixels.
Best regards, John
Not a success even though cameras were also produced by:
Fujica, Mamyia, Minolta, Yashica Canon etc.
