The point is whether there will be any continuation in the K-5 line, as separate from the K-3. I think there won't, but not because the K-3 is itself the continuation - except as the replacement top-end.ChrisA wrote:
The K-3 has got so much new in it that to call it a K-5 at all would be misleading in the extreme.

Sorry, but this is just semantic pointlessness.We've got the K-5 III, it's called the K-3.

Eventually there will be sufficient improvements in the lower models to come close to where the K-5 was, but that's the nature of the evolving game.
That's all I was responding to in your post.

There won't be a K-5 III.whether there have been any leaks of a K5 III or something, or a cheaper replacement.
The next high-end Pentax will be either:
- A K-3 II with either a better sensor, or (unlikely) something clever in the electrickery to reduce the high-ISO noise.
- Or a camera with a 35 or 36mm sensor.
There's bound to be new versions of the entry/mid level ones, which will be a bit better than the current ones. When they will be I can't imagine. They may also mess around a bit more with mirrorless, but I'm not interested in that so I'm not paying attention.

Ain't gonna get up enough speed to skid in anywhere if you're as fat as a whale.

A D7200 next spring would cause something of a K-3 price drop.

I don't think it will be January.There is only one way the price goes on these so whether it is January or March 2014 it's going to hit this sort of price in my opinion.
If the price comes down by £100 to £999, but the cashback offer disappears, that's only a tiny decrease in reality.
I suppose sales will dip after Xmas, but enough to persuade Ricoh to cut the price by a quarter?
Hmm.
