Originally posted by Adam IMO it should go K-500 -> K-50 -> K-5 II -> K-3. There's no reason to get rid of the K-5 since it's reasonably-priced yet still powerful. But, following Pentax tradition, I have a hunch that it will be discontinued.
Haha.... Well, i'm looking at the final "tier" grouping.
Basically:
Tier 1: K50/K500 (Entry level with no difference other than WR)
Tier 2: K3 (Mid level)
*Tier 3: 645D (Top level)/ ?FF
So yea... The rest will be laid to rest as they have done their purpose, beta-testing products for Pentax..
*Hmm..... Since this seems to be Pentax tradition, looking ahead, in next year running if they do launch a FF, we can rest assure that the K3 will serve as the minimum specification, perhaps with upsized sensor and a little tweak here and there.. Therefore, it should be good IF it launches..
