If I get the K-New I will probably upgrade from my current DA55-300 to the PLM model too for better autofocus. Battery grip too. Often included in pre-orders so why not? I would prefer a FF camera with the upgraded features, but I doubt it will be out anytime soon. Probably 2022 or later This is merely my guess based upon current rate of new camera model introductions. Being "stuck" with only the K1, K1-II and K3 at the moment is not a bad thing at all.
I think a lot of Pentaxians have upgraded to K-1 or K-1 IIs over time. Many of the people who were really active in the K-5 and K-3 photo threads now post pretty excusively in the K-1 thread.
I have a K-3 and would like to upgrade it at some point. Having the faster frame rate and higher pixel density is nice for telephoto and action photography and even for macro photos with the DFA *100, I don't really see a lot of benefit for full frame over APS-C.
I do hope that next year sees a K-1 III (or whatever they'll call it) come out with many of the same improvements that the K-new will have. Faster frame rate, better auto focus, deeper buffer, generally quicker action. Maybe get the processing of handheld pixel shift down to 5 or 10 seconds. Anyway, just my two cents, I guess...
