I'm sure it is.

1) FF, FF, FF, FF, FF.... FF
2) Any smaller AF points on the horizon?
3) Revamped limited series (both DA and FA) with WR?

Riding in a carriage whether it is pulled by real sized horses or 100 duck sized horses is simply pretentious so of course I would have to go for a horse sized duck, plus that way I could have it fly me around.

What about the APS-C K5 successor (K3 ?)

I liked both comments and I would be specially interested in modern updated versions of the FA 200 Macro and the FA 250-600 and smaller/more AF points.
I'm also interested in the ~130-380mm and ~16-85mm zooms on the roadmap.
Additionally to all the before mentioned questions, I would like to ask if there are any plans to broaden the line of "cheap" DAs (DA35, DA50) by adding a DA24 2,8, a DA85 1,8 and possibly a DA135 2,8?

Are there any plans for a new high-quality, small-size APS-C DSLR,
at a $600 level price point, of the caliber of the old K-x?

Follow-up: Will we ever see a custom menu option to allow the camera's flash to fire above the max sync speed without a HSS flash on the hotshoe?

This please. Go ahead and throw some WR on those flashes as well.

Features of the O-GPS built into the dlsr body? (With the option to turn off, naturally!)

calsan · 01-16-2013, 11:01 PM - **2 Likes**

Electronic shutters?

GordonZA · 01-16-2013, 11:51 PM

Might have missed these...

1. Touch screens
2. Wifi control from smartphones, tablets or PCs...

Kunzite · 01-17-2013, 12:49 AM - **5 Likes**

No touch screen, please!

Mazhe · 01-17-2013, 03:03 AM - **1 Like**

I am not sure that touchscreens go along well with weather sealing. Aside the problem of screen waterproof-ness, there is the fact that water drops disrupt them.

Please do not accept "Pentax lens selection is inadequate" as an answer for FF questions. There are so many existing FF compatible Pentax lenses on peoples shelves, that the first Pentax FF DSLR body will sell as well as K-5 did I think. This would give Pentax 2 more years to create the most needed FF lenses.

ask them about the movie SR in k01 and k30 ... and tell them to never do it again!!!

-Ever thought of a 24x24 squared FF ? Would solve the use of most APS-C lenses on it.

-43 limited was adapted to m39 screw mount. Would be another lens ? (huge market behind, not only for rangefinder enthousiasts like me but also for EVIL users) Suggestion : the 31 for example...
