I think it's more than what the 6 MP actually does versus what it represents, or is perceived to represent. For me, that nudge that takes the "crop" part of the frame from the 16 to 18 range is something I'd like, but it's the implied aspect of newest tech e.g. Pentax is "keeping up", the implied AF improvements, the implied data transfer improvements and so on that is what that package represents and why it would stimulate a potential sale over the existing product or entice some of us to upgrade what is already a great camera. It's not just 6 MP, it's a whole lot more wrapped into it. I also would continue that the "let down" I think some are having (I am not one of them) over what was leaked is that it doesn't match the hoped for hype generated on the forums. It actually fits perfectly as a "-II" release - some nice enhancements, but nothing earth shaking, and yes, a whole new design with the most up to date sensor should get more than a "-II" notation, because that is big deal.
And we just need to sit tight another couple weeks before the curtain rises. Who says there isn't more at the show? And who says it's the only show of the year or the only time Pentax might release something? Still time to chill before jumping off bridges and tall buildings.
