Being a late entry into the FF world, it benefits from more improved sensor technology. Also as it is Pentax tradition, if offers a few features (or a whole bunch of them) that the competition did not think of first. It matches or betters the Nikon 810 by a slight margin except autofocus. It outclasses Canon 5D MarkIII in resolution and a whole bunch of other categories, except video.
When you consider the price (less than a D750), then it becomes a bargain offering. I do not think Pentax is going to catch up to Canon and Nikon in the lens offerings race. The equation for me is whether it offers enough of the general purpose range lenses and enough specialized lenses to allow amateurs and pro alike to produce work that they need. For my type of work Pentax already offers enough lenses so that I do not have to wish for Canon and Nikon lenses. As far as bodies go, how can you go wrong with a $1,800 powerhouse!? And oh how can I forget the mighty 645Z. Pentax rocks... at least for now!!
