I'm a fairly new Pentaxian, having purchased a K-5 about 7 months ago. I am extremely happy with it! I must admit though, I do have a bit of D800 resolution envy as well as X100 style jealousy. Considering this... I know exactly what I want from Pentax...
Forget FF, I want a digital 6x7,a 6x7D! Give it a retro body, make it huge! Give it a 6 by 7 format 36+ sensor with crop abilities for optional FF or Aps-c format and K-mount adaptor!
Make the camera something special. Well built, a solid performer, with three manual knobs for iso, aperture, and shutter speed. A real analog feel. It can be heavy, It can be impractical, I'll keep my k-5 for everyday use.
This is my dream. Am I alone?
the problem is that the cost explodes. If you want more and have lots of cash the 645D is around..... but alas how big a photo do you want? --- the K5 produces a larger than your computer screen and more than enough to make an outstanding calendar
photo..... Resolution beyond the ability of the printer to print or the screen to display doesn't do much.
Howmuch do you want to pay for an car engine powerful enough to launch your car to the moon when it doesn't come with a space suit and you spend most of your time stuck in traffic somewhere anyway?
