Originally posted by mee What will happen if Ricoh doesn't release a FF K-mount camera within the next 7 months? All this hype and rumor surrounding it could be very deflating to some people.. there is always a kilometer of rumor developed through a millimeter of information at the Pentax Forums.
This place is a rollercoaster of emotion surrounding a camera body with a Full Frame sensor..
FF is coming yay
oh wait it is not.. boo
but it still is on the radar yay
but not this year.. boo
looks like this year yay
nope just kidding.. boo
etc etc
I think full frame is coming. I also think that a number of the folks who talk a lot about it will probably not buy one because it will be expensive (closer to D800 level than 6D) and the reality is that the K3 is an awful lot of camera already and would satisfy most people's needs.
I am not too worried either way, but it feels like the time is right. Ricoh is clearly working on glass behind the scenes and not telling us much about it, my guess is because it is full frame glass. Unfortunately, often the people who talk the loudest have little real information.
