sure, it is an insider news/rumor directly from pentax distributor, but I will only take it as 30% real. The sensor is being used by Sony themselves first is an agreement that they want to decrease the initial cost of sensor. So pentax only get sensors when sony is able to meet the manufacturing demand and taking the market that they should have. However, if you read the SAR as well, you will notice they are talking about the a99 doesn't have mirror up mode. It is due to the large mirror degrade the border and extreme like crazy, so they are trying to minimize the degradation effect by not having a mirror up mode. (not sure if it makes sense though, to me it is less mechanical parts, easier to manufacture, higher QC/QA points and control) So if Sony delays the roll out of a99, the pentax ff comes later as well.
One good news is that, the sensor/processor will be calibrated to match the 3 FA lense which is currently still in production (not the early lead version, so those will all be AIV), and some other lens will be renamed while new lense will be rolled out. I do have a list of FF supported lense list which I think may have a chance to rename in the future :)
Other than that, the body is the smallest full frame, vertical grip option, new flash, WR body, 2 colors, comes with 2 different packages (with/without lense) in limited case. (as for lense I have heard it is going to be a prime... although it will be nice to have the DA*...)
These are only what I HEARD, not what I can confirm though :)

That is correct! K-7/5 may provide better feature but IQ wise... K-r seems to be better than K-7...
