Most of the items I put on the list were carryovers from the K-5. I love my K-5. However, if Pentax simply slapped a FF sensor into a K-5 body and did nothing else I believe it would be a total flop.
True, most of them are shared with the K-5 but for the rest, I see them as specialist needs. I donīt want a camera full of features Iīd like to havee, but actually use once or twice to fool arround. Maybe if they kept a "low spec" option, as current K-5. Also, I said larger sensor, not specifically FF. APS-H would do it for me.
On other topic, I kept thinking about the in-camera lens database. This could already be possible at least for A series lenses. If you input the correct focal length, then the camera could guess which lens it is, knowing minimum aperture... Wait, only for primes if there is any overlap with a zoom...
Originally posted by TomB_tx My list is very small:
1. Finder like old Pentax film SLRs with plain ground-glass option for better manual focus with high-speed lenses. (No more tunnel finders.)
2. Un-crippled mount to use old K-mount lenses (pre -A) as intended.
All else is optional for me, including auto-focus, burst modes, different metering patterns, and especially video
Well, those are two features that woud make me buy the upgrade right away...
...Ok, after raising the money and selling my current body
