You are all wrong - it is going to be a mobile phone with interchangeable lenses.

if Full Frame is defined as the size of the light sensitive medium used in the analogue forerunner of the digital device in question, then it will be infinitely larger than full frame.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

It will be the K5 II replacement with 20+ MP. It won't be FF, get over it and maybe we cn avoid the whining afterwards...

According to one Japanese contact it will be the same APS sized 16.3Mb sensor, the same as on all recent Pentax DSLR and one mirrorless, (why fix what's not broken?), it will have no AA filter, but it will have one in software should you get Moire in an image, it will be USB3, it will have a headphone socket for when recording video, and, maybe, a small manual volume control, it will have a faster frame rate probably 8.5fps, and a better, but still fixed, rear screen.

Hope they are wrong

I bet your Japanese contact hasn't staked much at Radbrokes.

well i'd prefer it to stay at 16MP if had a massive increase in dynamic range, but that won't happen. It'll be 24MP and little or no increase in DR most likely

Might have to pop in to check out the autofocusing upgrades! Will you also be having another Open Day on a Saturday when the stock comes in?

But presumably with pre-production firmware, so it 'll be more form than function?

AF speed is important for many, but looks like we'll have to wait for production firmware before we'll really know how good it is?
