Interesting aspects, guys. Thanks for all the information.
Of course I wouldn't write off Pentax in any way, it's just that I was wondering, what if K-5 was more of a pne off product. I'm really enthusiastic about what the near future might bring, as I would really like to see an upgraded version of K-5 with better AF and some other upgrades. And a lack of AA filter is getting more and more inetersting for me as well, so hopefully there will be a wider choice of this kind in the future.

I am aware of the average to below average results (in some fields) Sigma cameras with Foveon X3 are providing but wouldn't it be possible Pentax (or Ricoh) engineers would be capable of making a great processing unit with some great results from Foveon sensor? So, is Sony sensor - whichever it might be, the APS-C or FF, really the only option for Pentax? And there are rumors Foveon might introduce the FF sensor this year.
And one more hypothetical question - how can we be sure Pentax will make another segment leading camera regarding IQ - be it APS-C or FF. As the K-5 was an exceptional case and now, after almost three years on the market, many newer models from Nikon or Canon provide better results. So, maybe we just shouldn't take exceptional IQ from Pentax as granted ... It wasn't like this till K-5 came.

This is one sad announcement. Really frustrating to see, a brand one loves, making so unreasonable moves. Replacing great camera models after just one year or even less on the market, while leaving the products, that have been on the market for almost three years unchanged.
Replacing a great distinctive design of K-30 with the "I'm so boring, you probably wouldn't want to buy me" looks of the K-50 and K-500. And without any serious progression. There is no articulated screen, which in my opinion buyers in this segment would really appreciate. I am affraid, buyers in the consumer segement don't just appreciate a great sensor and a nice processing unit. And to be honest - no one really needs 100 different colours, the choice with K-30 is more than enough. And Q7 with the larger sensor is just, what it should be from the very beginning.
So - with announcements like this, even as a huge Pentax lover, I really can't see a bright future for the brand. Really sad ...

I really don't get it ... K-30 has a great distinctive design, it looks contemporary and this K-50 looks like a grandfather. Really sad.

Wondering if that MZ-S is still available and what would be the price?
