I'm just going on the original K-5 price and adding a bit for good measure

To my way of thinking the new camera is basically my Canon 7D with a better sensor and an extra card slot so it should be selling for around a grand.

Full frame territory maybe but the cameras you are referring to are lacking the bits I want such as AF speed/points and decent tracking ability.
True, but how many aps c bodies have launched this year with a price over a £1000?? I think Ricoh need to get competitive with this from the outset

Well the da 14 is a hulking piece if glass 77mm front element and 11 elements behind it, its going to be slower to focus...

It will depend on the lens in question and the type of construction.

The SMC Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited is blisteringly fast for example, presumably because the focusing has such a short throw. The 55-300mm has a lot more work to do.
Was just going to post this and saw John's reply.

The da 35mm 2.4 is super fast as it has a really short focus throw, for the same reason the da* 50-135mm is slow to focus as it has a long focus throw.
