will be in the uk next april....
She is an alternative model, a nice person. I'll be connecting her to this page, if anybody is interested in getting to know her and or possibly shooting some images while she's there..
so drop a comment here or pm me, and I'll let you guys work out any details or arraingements.

Don you are always full of very positive ways of contributing to these discussions! I am not sure about chasing Sony on their implementation of video is what Pentax should be doing, but it would be great if Pentax / Ricoh could come up with something creative and different from what the other manufacturers are offering in the FF arena.
I am fed up of hearing that Pentax cannot succeed where Sony 'failed', with their FF line of cameras. Actually we can't be sure that Sony's FF line are unsuccessful - perhaps they helped drive sales of their APSC units to serious photographers who felt they might like to upgrade in the future?
thinking about cameras along the lines of computers...which they essentially are nowadays... I'd say comparing the k5 to the ist*d, one doesn't have to invest in one camera hoping for a future upgrade to a bigger sensor... cheaper better faster is a given.... just like computers... the next model will always outperform the previous...Don you are always full of very positive ways of contributing to these discussions!

Also.... in these very forums.... I was pretty much the lone voice telling people Video recording for d-slrs was gonna happen... ask around.... so video is now here..... why not make it as pro grade as the still images?
As for FF I don't think it is needed in a dlsr... but holy mother... if an evil class cam came out with FF sensor and kmount with pro video capabilities... that would a pro camera to contend with....

also THIS warning sony review is the camera Pentax should be looking to beat.... when a sucessor to the k5 is released... never mind FF....

I think the way data is collected off this sensor yeilds a lower resolution image than other sensors of the same size.... I suspect this camera will be enjoyed by news photographers and amateurs.....
so I see many uses in robotics and machine vision, as well as surveilence but limited use for serious photographers... at least for the next five to eight years...

So what is there to stop Penricoh from releasing TWO newer versions of the gxr?
A simple kmount module with the same sensor as the kr or k5?
and a newer bigger gxr with a full frame sensor and kmount?
seems to me this would be the fastest way to get kmount lenses on the gxr system... and also possible that an already developed by pentax mirrorless is already waiting for a descision to bring to market.. so maybe there is three possible releases in the not too distant future?
