Photokina 2014: Pentax K3 Prestige / K-S1 - Is that it for K-mount news?

Full Frame at a €2000 price tag with weather sealing, 7FPS, 25< RAW buffer, new AF-module with wide spread AF points for full frame, double SD slot, 24MP and a little bit bigger than the K-3

Nikon offers D750, Ricoh - K-S1. Feel the difference.

You chose wrong brand.

Many, many others did also. The Nikon D750 is a very cool camera! If we don't hear anything about FF at Photokina.. I think I found my next camera.

Same here, I feel I waited enough and loyalty is becoming stupidity on this matter. It is even worsened by the fact that Ricoh is seemingly back in charge of product development and we will get more sorry jokes of gadgets instead of the no-nonsense photographic gear I bought into Pentax for.

Yes, and this many think, and even more will act now...

D750 seems to be the almost perfect FF-SLR for long-lasting frustrated pentax-users...

No, because it doesn't mount or AF their legacy K-mount lenses.

... but what could replace my "Three Amigos"? I just would like to use my three FA Limiteds in their 35mm Focal Length again as in analog times.

33% of the members that voted in a recent poll think FF is coming. We'll see what happens next week.

Becareful with Oil and thermal dots issue

For me Nikon D750 is not what I wish to come in Pentax K-mount, simply because it uses 24 Mpx.

... I am not in hurry, but I would like to get this option real. So far the K-3 is a fantastic camera.

They decided to develop 645 project.

K-mount is like step child.

But not without problems.

If that was a solution, then they would have had the change to do exactly that many times before. See all the releases of previous CaNiSo FF bodies. The ones that are still left really only want it to be a Pentax FF, or K-mount FF. (I sometimes think they're only waiting for a K-mount digital FF so they can sell off their "legacy" glass collection at a much higher price.)

I can't blame them though. Added FF to my gear, and I still can't be bothered to sell my Pentax stuff. I strongly dislike selling perfectly mint gear at abysmal resale values myself. At such resale value, I prefer to just keep it for nostalgia, or give it to my daughter to play with.

... which problems? Wishes are no problems! I have my superA for slow-foting. Remember: I am not in a hurry! ;-)

... that is what I always do, when I won't use my gear anymore. My daughters love me for that! ;-)
