Those comparisons are at the very best educated guesses. What is your reference point? What on the photo has a size of a part we know the size of? The lens... We don't know what lens is mounted, and it depends on the focal length. Maybe the dials can tell us something, maybe they are of a different size.
Samsung and Sony can withhold parts from Pentax in order to be ahead of their competitor. Now I know in the phone world Samsung didn't do that to Apple, but who knows. Sony said they'll do it.
As for pro's... IMHO pro's are maybe a bit more pragmatic. The camera has to fulfill their needs. If they expect that clients want them to do video, good video is necessary (eventually that will mean 4K, and stabilized video will help). Good tethering. Good WiFi (speed is important... The client may want at least preliminary photos ASAP). And of course the lenses.
I hope that this body is THAT good, but we will have to wait. Hopefully the next mid level APS-C camera will show what's to come.
