Release? or Announcement?

The announcement happened last February
The release (as in actual ability to purchase) is unlikely before May or June of 2016 and likely later.

So, no I seriously doubt the FF will have any impact whatsoever on the k-3 series. In fact we might see a new APS-C body before we see the FF. And to be honest I think the FF is aimed at a different market and will not have much impact on APS-C bodies anyway. It's not like there is any real difference in Nikon APS-C bodies price because they have a FF camera in the line.


No, I don't think so. An announcement actually includes details about what will be released...


What we got last February was a "notice of impending announcement." And I use the term "impending" extremely loosely.


If Ricoh were stalling, this would be the way to do it. A "notice of impending announcement, followed 6 moths later by an "announcement" including details and then a release 6 months after that. They gain a year to spool up and Pentaxians gain a year to save their spondulaks.

Looks like an announcement to me. Pentax Full Frame DSLR Officially Announced - Pentax Announcements | PentaxForums.com

But I think we are arguing semantics and your reply has nothing to do with the question I was trying to answer which was whether the FF will impact APS-C prices.

No semantics about it, every other company announces a product by telling you the DETAILS of the product. Whatever Pentax forums calls it is fine, but with no details, it's a poor representation of an "announcement." Look at it this way: Do you "announce" that your going to be engaged to be married in 6 months to someone but you can't say who they are or when the wedding will be? That's not an "announcement" that's still a wish...


The coming FF has already impacted APS-C prices. A k3 for $640? A K3II for $830? A 16-50 DA* for $785? All the DA Limited's for <$500?


THAT's a fire sale!

Ooops ! ??
So .... a new countdown, as D1N0 said ?

This is becoming tiring. Although I will not buy into a FF system, it would be nice to see some good news soon.
