Sorry I don't know what some of you already knew, so in order to avoid looking stupid in future I'll hang back in the shadows.
Maybe I should re-convert back to Canon?
Dan, I guess it is easy to forget how well informed many of us are compared with the non forum reader. By the same token when posting a new thread it may be useful to search a bit to ensure the topic isn't well hashed.
I suggested the thread close tongue in cheek. Pentax forums tends to leave them open unless they get ugly. My anticipation of a deluge of blather to pump post count prompted my remarks not your subject.
As for the apsc body... Pentax announced the discontinuation of the k-3 ii a while back. The KP wasn't ever billed as the successor but it has the best image quality and is the most advanced apsc Pentax makes currently. The new flagship apsc that has been shown in mock up has a third control wheel. It is also anticipated to have the same accelerator chip technology that is in the k1 mkii and KP. It likely also has a new sensor.
Welcome. Sorry the reception was out of character for us. Keep posting.
