Maybe never,seeing its in many of their lenses AND its in the lenses of the 3rd party lens makers that support them.

Probably take the same time to develop as it takes for Pentax to get their PRIMES to market.
Originally posted by photoptimist When is Fuji, Olympus, or Panasonic going to go full frame (and people say Pentax was late to FF)?
Well, for Fuji,they attacked the weakest point in the market with great success.So much so that the revenue generated will bring a budget MF body to market this year that no one will match for price or quality.Next year they bring the 100mp body to market,i suppose their modern lenses will have expanded from the 6 present ones to around the double figure mark by then.
Olympus and Panasonic share M43,neither need to do FF when they own that segment.Many who are sick of the weight of Dslr love the compactness of some of the bodies and lightweight lenses...Both those companies do some OK video too.Their high res modes are a bit like PS.

Every camera maker excels in some areas and "fails" on others. The challenge for camera buyers is to pick a maker that is aligned with the types of photography they do.
Yes,of course...But Pentax is 5-15 years behind in what?..lots,but pixel shift counteracts that?Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder!
