Originally posted by MJSfoto1956 If Pentax were to ever introduce a full-frame camera, they should take a cue from the recently announced Nikon D750 (which in my opinion would pair well with the K-3). To wit:
- dual SD cards
- tilt screen
- 24Mp
- Water-resistant (of course)
- excellent video specs
- built-in WiFi (control your camera from your iPhone OOTB without any FLUness)
- -3EV focusing
Now if they decide to never release a full-frame camera, then some of you might consider the D750 as a 2nd body. Im shooting my K-3 together with my D800 and finding that it is not all that bad mixing two different systems. When I eventually upgrade my D800 I now have a choice of D750 or D810. Not clear which way I would go but I have time. Alternately, you could make the jump to the 645X (which is probably what Pentax is hoping).
YMMV

Yes, good choice.
I wish they came out with a knockoff Leica FF as well. Leica mount only!

Ricoh/Pentax is merely looking at it from the sideline, and Pentax shooters are eternally bickering on about how Apsc is it, and FF will only always be a niche for the few deluded ones that happen to have fallen prey to the belief that FF is actually better than Apsc, and so on and so forth, and only when Nikon and Sony have proven that FF is a big part of the future of photography, and the market in their view is ready for FF, and sales of FF prove it, only then will they probably initiate the actual launch off a FF system.
Pentax under Ricoh is really a very nice and reliable company, but they are simply not part of the innovation that is bringing FF closer and close to being a mainstream system.

Pentax is like Fuji. Both companies seem to want to perfect their crop sensor. And it is not like you can get a D810 for the price of a K3. The K3 is a top model in its class, so nothing wrong with that. If Pentax wants to distinguish itself with something different they should make an affordable FF Leica knockoff rangefinder that takes Leica glass.
