So what about you?
I think all critical, but not all that important. I'm currently changing on my photography and doing less sports. Still something I do from time to time. So it needs to be in the package for me. I guess for Pentax there will only be one FF camera, so it has to be versatile to a lot of photographers, mostly hobbyist.
1. Looking at prices for FF (body only) overhere
FF body pricelist then for me the Pentax offering has to be at max 1.999 euro, so twice the price of K-3 at max. If it is more expensive not only I will think about a different system, but they won't sell many of them.
2. Size does matter, but this is also in part with the lenses you use. If you want 400mm/f2.8 then camerasize is no issue. For me, I like a K-3 size and not bigger. It can grow to D750 but not larger.
3. I really think that this is the main issue why we don't have a FF yet. A technical matter I think. (aps-h....) No SR means for me not buying.
4. Video has to be in it, but is not the most important thing. I don't think this ads many costs, since sensors are fast enough in pixelstransport due to our 6 fps demands (for me even with sports 4 fps is enough as long as the AF-C can keep up that number). No video, no problem. Pentaxusers are not to much interested in video in general.
5. Lenses. Well I'm ready for FF. Still trying to sell my DA40mmLtd, but the keepers FA31mm, DA*55mm, FA*85mm and DA*300mm are all FF lenses. I just need to ad the converter to be back on track with my 300mm. So there is a need for a wide angle prime and a lens like 135mm and Pentax does have already a great prime lens line for FF.
So will I buy a FF? Currently my answer would be yes when it meets my expectations. If it is some expensive 36 megapixel then probably not.
