Sensor shift has been on Pentax bodies for ages too. Perhaps he's just woken up to what Pentax offers that other makes don't.

Those who frequent the Whitby Goth Festival for photographic purposes (I guess most here!) maybe interested in this item: http://nyenquirer.uk/10020-2/
Don't worry, it's positive.

Well I've just got a new car too, but only paid the cost of a second hand one (the dealer upgraded my sale to meet their end of year target, It was to be a pre-reg ex demo.) So saved £££ and K-1 is on its way.
As one of the long term FF protagonists who everyone said there will never ever be one to, pleased its finally in the post. Some of us have faith. Hope highwayman Mike doesn't hijack the post van. Sorry, I cannot offer a K-3 Mk2 as I only have a Mk1 version,

It's good you've got to grips with your preferred lens so quickly. So long as you remember to press the green button to set the exposure all should be well. When you're ready you can always post some photos here and/or enter one of the competitions. The kit lens ought to expose OK but it might not be automatically selecting the point of focus you want. There are ways round that. If it isn't focussing correctly there could be an issue to solve but one can't really say that after just one or two photos. See how it goes.

Everyone's waiting for their K-1's to get the first K-1 competition entry on the site.

Maybe another prize for the 1st Pixel Peeper to say it looks the same as a Pentax Q

Have a look on this site: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/pentax.htm
There's a comprehensive series of Pentax manuals going way back.

There 's also details of most Pentax cameras and lenses on this site too:- http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/

The UK Ricoh shop is currently stating 29th April.

You seem to be confusing enlarging an image with the field of view at the time of taking it. Yes, a higher pixel count on the sensor may yield an image that can be enlarged more, but I don't think that was the question originally being asked. The image at 1:1 on APS-C will have cropped content compared to that of a full frame image.

The Tamron version is just as good, they made the lens for Pentax!
