Great points!
I think a good move is to provide viable upgrade path for current K-5 owners, much like Pentax built on K-x success with follow-up K-5.
Safe to say, digital medium format is out of question for current K-5 owner as future upgrade.
I agree that Pentax still has problems to solve, namely a better, more reliable preflash TTL system.
Until that is solved, I don't think pentax FF will sell as successfully as Canikons FF.
As a K-5 owner, I am not expecting to "upgrade" to another k-mount APS-C DSLR for the next 4-5 years, nor am I looking to upgrade to digital medium format.
Instead, I'm looking for a product, with similar excellent specs, that would work as complement for K-5.
Maybe something that works well with legacy lenses, like Sony NEX, with decent sized sensor. Sorry but Q is not going to sell well, as we can see -
Sensor size has to atleast come close to legacy lens spec'd in terms of aperture size.
Having that said, if Pentax come up with an k-mount FF with better contrast AF, I would snap it up in a heartbeat.
