The real bummer about this is that DX is awesome. I never really realized how awesome it was until I owned the K-5 IIs. It's so compact; it's the perfect in-between of mirrorless and full frame bodies. Absolutely comfortable, easy to carry, and just makes sense. LOVE my Sigma 50-150mm 2.8 zoom. It's fast, light, and a great size. Perhaps previously DX didn't make as much sense because sensor tech wasn't there yet. But it is now. I think the D7100 is an incredible camera with a lot of attractive features (though I prefer my Pentax for sheer enjoyment and usability), and the K-5 IIs is incredibly competent; easily good enough for pro work.
I think the crop factor is also helpful in certain types of photography.
Hopefully we'll see more dedication to the DX lines, but what a bummer that Sigma seems to be leaving Pentax behind. I certainly hope (but am fearful) that doesn't continue.
