I'm sure this is just the tip of what the specs will be, I have a hunch it will be very feature packed.
Since the incredible success of the Kx, Pentax knows that great high ISO performance sells, and I bet the performance in the K-5 is second to none.
I'm waiting to here the WHOLE story of this camera, I would love to see a tilt/shift LCD and tethering, but that may be to much to ask for.
As for FF, for me, I don't need it, I have never printed anything over 17 X ? and the new sensors are very close to FF now. Technology will keep moving where IMHO it will be a moot point.
With the economy the way it is, look what is making money 4/3rds and APS-C sensors.
Just my musings on a Sunday morning :- )
