Digital Camera Magazine Interview: Comments on Full Frame

Kunzite · 12-25-2014, 12:43 PM

No idea (unlikely, if I'd were to guess). Perhaps we'll see something first on the "full frame" arena, as it's a bit behind in terms of pixel density.

Yes, yes, we're doomed. Nothing to see here, move along.

Ricoh must be just around the corner (after Panasonic, I presume).

The remaining interviews are Ricoh, Sigma and Panasonic. I have no idea in which order they will appear on the website, because they are posting them in a different order to how they appear the print Magazine.

Unfortunately, Pentax has been just too slow.
Whatever they come up with next year will be downed out by the news of Caniko milc offerings or the rumoured new Canon dslr.

That said, I am setting aside next year's camera money for a FF pentax.

Cahh Mahhnn, already.

Inquiring minds want to know.

If it is to come to fruition it sounds to me like that an annoncement 2015 for 2016 release, but as they say they have not decided yet as to whether they will release it or not, but now possibility.
Take K mount seriously is good as legacy lenses will work, perhaps SR for FF will be in lens instead of in body.

Thanks for posting this! The translation came out kind of wonky to me. Was anyone able to gather anything from the article?
