Originally posted by rawr I'd call that a K-3x or something. Like Sony did for a while with the 16MP NEXs - keeping the same sensor, metering, image engine - just adding new features (WiFi/Apps/touch screen, hybrid AF, EVF, in-built flash) from time to time, plus adding a new external dial or two.
Oh, I think those two upgrades alone would represent a FAR greater improvement than the tweaking Sony played around with on the 16mp cameras. I might guess you are not trying to manually focus your lenses all that often on a small f.3.8 (or so) OVF screen, with no split-screen focusing aid, with eyes older than 45 years, give or take. It's not about a lens correction factor in eyeglasses. My resolution's pretty good -- no problem driving without glasses. I wonder what folks at Zeiss (in my dreams), or Cosina-Voigtlander, or Samyang, or Kowa (!) might think of a prosumer DSLR from Pentax that made critical focusing of their lenses in the viewfinder a snap for late middle age guys with some cash?
And loading up SD cards is SO Year-2002 -- or being, as it is, virtually the same concept as recording to film, taking out the "latent image container" with your fingers, transporting the container home to... etc., etc.; well, it's pretty much like... hmm, let's see, when did Oskar Barnack come up with the Leica "miniature" camera? It's over, bottom line -- DSLR makers simply don't appear to grasp the state of the culture, or their wheels are stuck in the mud. Just ask a content, satisfied iPhone-cam/Instagram user who's savvy to his present and imminent options in this area ...
No, the iPhone person may not be an enthusiast -- he just enjoys having the contemporary high end photo file handling the lower castes with DSLRs must, for the most part, trudge on without. Ha, ha... how long will it be before the DSLR folks finally close the buggy whip factory? The idea is simple -- you take the picture, and it's gone, whenever you want it to be... off to the digital file destinations (plural) of your choice. No muss, no fuss.The phone folks aren't quite all the way there, but I don't expect the tortoise to be winning this race.
I'd buy THAT fiddled with 'K' in a flash.
