johnha,
I completely understand your point.
But imagine - with FF your limited makes 1.5x times less chromatic aberration. Picture of that sharp detail becomes 1.5x times sharper. FA 31mm 1.8 limited skyrockets in price even more (gladly I have one) - because it is wide and bright. Taking portrait with it, makes subject closer and bokeh much more visible and adds extra space around subject, making wide angle dynamics...
...and so many advanced folks left Pentax just because there was no path of growth. They were/are true Pentax dealers - because people asked questions and theses persons sold them Pentax.
Now they use Canon/Nikon and sell these cameras to beginners. Ok, all this is talked uncountable times.

this new camera is much cheaper, easily matches the K3 in most areas and beats it in others - WIFI, GPS, tilt screen - Hellloooo Ricohoooo?!

I think there's a tendency for some people (not you Stu!) to assume just cos a photo is amazing, PS trickery was mainly responsible. Take the 'Stilleto' shot on pg 6. Yep it's colour popped but the main impact comes from how the photo was set up, posed and taken.

Is the image quality of the K3 going to be worth nearly 700 quid more than I paid for my K30 less than a year ago?

Now I'm off to click and wind on all my old film cameras to hopefully help keep the mechanisms working ;P

A First for me on my birthday. We went out for a meal at a local pub with His Nibs, his sister and her husband. We got thrown out. Brother-in-law is 77 and it's a first for him too. Now they have one less pub in their village they can use.
No one worried by it, and we went somewhere else and had a great meal.

I wonder how I would cope with my DA50-135mm attached to such a small, grip-less body though?
To be honest I think the K5 / K50 size is just about right and could even go a bit bigger (K10 size).
Happy to go with something smaller specifically for using MF prime lenses (currently the NEX system fits the bill), but I wouldn't want that as my main camera really.
