Originally posted by Votesh Unfortunately, any sensor smaller than FF will not allow the use of lenses to their full potential, so unless all you want FF for is the high ISO, and other similar advantages, you will still be disappointed. I primarily want FF for its FOV advantage, and the K-7 is good enough that I won't be upgrading until Pentax releases a FF DSLR.
Agree 100%. I
don't have a good feeling about Pentax's next camera, because it's likely to be more "Less-Than-Half-Frame" time wasting. A FF is worth more than twice the price of APS-C, similarly equipped, since two "upgrades" of APS-C STILL won't get you to FF performance, and you'll NEVER get as good a viewfinder OR be able to use the full AOV of your 35mm format lenses with APS-C. It's time for Pentax to make something better, and that means FF, period. I bought APS-C cameras to support the brand (an *istD and a K10D) and to have a digital to play with while I waited for what I actually wanted - a PK FF dSLR. I won't be buying any more APS-C cameras, regardless of how they perform or what features they have. Any more Less-Than-Half-Frame stuff at this point is a waste of money as far as I'm concerned.
