Does the AF advantage of FF for PDAF translate into mirrorless FF CDAF, for example?

Look at falconeye's article you referenced. The answer is "no, not quite". The AF accuracy advantage when using CDAF, is just a factor of 1.5.

There is no D7500 and the D610 AF system is not very impressive. The D610 has the same AF system as the D7100 including the AF point array which is why is looks so small in the OVF. Its a terrible camera for AF tracking and low light AF.

The D600 had incredible AF in my experience, but my other experience is really only Pentax + Sony. Low light AF was great.

Other than the grid of AF points, I can't tell the difference between the D810 and the D600 AF.

According to this poll the first Pentax FF will cost 2999 $, the second 2399$ and the third 1799$.

Assuming Ricoh releases the full frame using the 36mp Sony sensor with improved DR, noise, and ISO range, selectable AA filter like the K3, dual card slots, crop mode enabled, ~7fps, WR, and the features we have on the K3 what would you be willing to pay for the body only? Not with the kit lens offerings, just the body and the normal stuff that comes with the body. After voting say what your reasons are for choosing what you did if you don't min, and even say the exact target price you're looking for. Thanks.

Because I have some superb SMC Pentax-A prime And Tamron Adaptall2/SP lenses with PKA adapters, I have been patiently waiting too long for an affordable FF Pentax to arrive. Letting the Nikon F700 pass with eyes now looking backwards on the Nikon F750. All this against the acquisition of a couple of superb Lumix compacts both with Leica lenses for less than £50 combined. With bullion prices slipping, maybe a dozen full sovereigns would be more attractive. Perhaps someone can inspire me to rekindle my enthusiasm; if I could hire a FF body for a month that might help.

It will all depend on what kind of camera it is. I hope to see a camera with the capabilities of a K-3 for a price of $1999 at release, similarly to Nikon D610.

Ricoh has been mirroring the prices of Canon and Nikon offerings, so I think that's roughly where the price will be.
I could also see them releasing a flagship model for $2999, and a cheaper one later.
