Originally posted by Cosmo Pentax should make a full frame digital, they don't even have to bring out a line of new FF lenses. While some people would not be able to benefit from it, alot of people have alot of film lenses, and would love a FF camera to be able to use. All Pentax have to do is take an LX, and wack a sensor in the back, and hey presto!!
WRONG
The LX is not the best body to use. While I know the LX has a cult following, a real pro, full frame DSLR would be best patterned after the PZ-1/p.
Think about it, the PZ-1p is 12 years newer than the LX, has AF, (actually a pretty good one) the KAF2 mount is already in the body, it is a nice big body, not one suffering from what I call the "M series disease"
Aside from these points, it has a shutter that can do 1/8000 with 1/250 flash sync, 4.5 frames per second
In addition it has a fully capable K mount, good and reliable TTL flash, ...
the list just goes on and on.
If the electronics were updated, and a digital sensor integrated, it would be the way to go.
