I guess it comes down to determining what sort of 'upgrade' you're going to get when they release a newer model.
Canon for example has effectively released the same entry level DSLR for 10 years or so now.
What sort of incremental development would you expect to see on the K-50 replacement? Is keeping up with the times too much? Improved video is occurring everywhere else out beyond Pentaxland, so is it unreasonable to expect Pentax to keep up with the minimum industry standard level in this area? In other areas such as creative use of the sensor shift system, Pentax is leading the way, well apart from video stabilisation, where it once did lead but has taken a backward step.
The K-S2 was around the same cost as the K-50 wasn't it? In which case it's indicative of what you could see in the K-70 unit. But my point is then isn't that a K-S2 by another name?
Are we expecting a K-S2 with a fat grip to be the K-70?
