Originally posted by vjacesslav K-P is visually smaller K-1. I think control set is copying the K-1 too. My point is that if you buy more FF sensors it makes much better price for each, and with "DX" crop you can use every lens designed for APS-C size. I wish I am wrong in this
KP looks nothing like a K-1. It is visually distinct from previous body designs.
We don't know what Pentax's supply contract with Sony states. Could be their contract only allows them 7000 FF sensors a month and they need volume in APSc.
Why pay $1,800 to crop your sensor to 16Mp? Pay $1,100 (or $1,400 for the flagship) and keep your 24Mp image using your long lenses
