The K5 already out preforms all other APS-C's and FF's (aside from the D800) on the market. The top 10 cameras are, FF D800, APS-C K5, and then 8 different medium format cameras from Hassy and PhaseOne.
Pentax has some awesome product, and put out a great too for photographers of all skill levels. Sorry you, and others, are too gadget and spec crazed that you have to have FF just because someone else said it was awesome. Go take some photos.
I realize K-5 is a great APSC camera and Pentax had done great jobs years ago
But I believe someone is misunderstanding my meaning.
Please look what had happened in the market today
(when Nikon and Sony are doing some great things in their products or marketing strategy) What is Pentax marketing strategy ?
I am afraid you don't know how many Pentaxians are waiting for Pentax's FF year after year.
They are collecting a lot of FF lens and they are very patient to looking for Pentax launch FF in some day
Pentax has missed a lot of opportunities to made them strong again in these years.
