Anyone else hoping more for news on the next APS-C camera?

I would prefer a new 16MP sensor with better high ISO performance than a 24MP sensor that performs the same as the old 16MP sensor. Also, I would think a 24MP sensor will require a faster processor just to keep the performance of the camera the same as the K-5, and this is an area I'd also like to see improved i.e. no more delays when deleting images or when going into preview mode.

In all, I'm pretty happy with my K-5, but in addition to the above, I'd like to see faster more accurate autofocus, autofocus tracking, faster focusing lenses, and a more complete lens lineup. I love the way the K-5 feels in my hands compared to the Nikon D7000 and Canon 7D, so I hope they don't change the body too much, and also keep compatibility with the current battery grip.

What a terrible life.

Difference between k-5 and k5II is insignificant. No any signs of coming any kind of k-3, so I believe upgrade to k-5IIs would be a good idea.
