Improving video - they'll sell more units to a large range of customers, if they get the video features right.
It's really only the 'stills only' crowd that want FF, and then, really only those who don't have the budget to grab a 645Z.
All the entrance models, the K-S1&2 should have fantastic video features to grab the new wave of customers who are moving up from P&S models to get a 'proper' camera, rather then have them test the Pentax and then buy a Canikon.

They already did that, saying it was noise the camera would record.
It's BS, as the hands on the body make more noise, and anyone who needs to record decent Voice will either use a decent handheld mic (or feed the mic port from a receiver) or use an external recorder for dialog.

How many of you just went and turned the SR on and off ten times?
One note on SR and long lenses - really, anything over 85mm, put it on a tripod. We need the Sensor Shift for hand-held with wide lenses - 12 to 50mm, stuff we record people with during close-ups, and quick run-n-gun style interviews.

Originally posted by kadajawi Also consider that in live view newer Pentaxes do have IBIS enabled. Why? If it'd hurt the camera, why not deactivate there too, only to activate it when you actually take a photo?
And if they'd let us record decent video via the HDMI, we'd all just use live-view in M photos,...
Even the K-01 has Sensor Shift liveview in photo modes, if you change the setting to 'always' from 'only when pressed'.

Originally posted by johnmflores "Well, if it works on the K-5 then it should work on the K-3" is not based on anything.
K-5, K-01, K-30,.. IRC, all have the same sensor, as do a couple of other models, so yes, the same movement for that sensor would carry across, but the K-3 is a different sensor.
The fly in the ointment is,... ALL of those models have Sensor Shift in Stills, and in Live View for stills, and only one gets to keep it in Video.
It just needs to be switched on in Video.

Good thinking !!
I'm shooting a promo on a K-3 next Thursday, and a mate is loaning me an Atomos Ninja,....
