Are you referring to the K-50? It illustrates my point, would anyone with a K-30 even consider the upgrade? Perhaps Pentax's problem is their cameras are already so full featured. I can see the K-50, simply because many people didn't like the design of the K-30, which is the reason why Samyang didn't offer the tilt-shift in PK mount, as it wouldn't be able to fully articulate.
Pentax has said that they would release a FF that provides something different than anything else out there. That spirit of innovation, at least in words, if not in deed, should be used for the rest of the lineup. AF and Flash aside though, I still think Pentax makes the best DSLR, certainly with the best ergonomics.
I guess it's a bit of an arms race though. If you don't release something new and someone else does, maybe they'll steal what few customers are left. They think they have to release, regardless.
