Originally posted by bossa I wonder what Pentax intends doing with FF. What resolution would they release do you think? Surely there's room in the market if Canikon can deliver all these variants and still make a profit?
Originally posted by jogiba I don't think Pentax will go for anything more than 24mp if they come out with a FF DSLR to keep from hurting demand for the 40mp 645D.
My guess will also be at 24mp. Not only is that more then sufficient for current and expected clients (enthousiast, weddingphotographer, landscapers, maybe some reporter and artists), but also lackiing the power (PRIME M = nice) to make that machine working like the Canon can with Digic 5+ processors.
645D making RAW + JPG (with lenscorrections) take 7 to 8 seconds on a single file to process. That is fine for a landscaper, but not for an enthousiast, reporter or a weddingphotographer.
Giving such a camera dual PRIME M would make it a lot faster, but still not snappy.
