Face palms. I was obviously comparing sensors and if you had not noticed i said i had a K-3 and a K-70 and enjoy them very much. besides where do you think Sigma got thier Pixel Shift idea from? Yeah that's right Pentax and Olympus.

No matter.

For the K3-ii successor.

Sharper images would be nice as i find that pentax images were always rather soft. Especially when you have the Nikon d500 at 20mpix and the only real improvement to the d500 was that they installed the D5 processing hardware into it.

Better AF as my k70 performs better than my K3 atm. Also group AF selections feature the nikon d500 has is most useful.

Dual memory card. XQD would be nice however there are so few xqd card readers for the amount of time XQD has been around that it might not be worth it. However for raw burst something with better buffer and data transfer speeds would be preferable.

Weather sealing is a must.

Keep and or improve the 5 axis IBIS.

Pixel shift.

Built in flash, just in case.

No GPS

The K-1 Stilt Screen i guess is ok but not the most EDC design if you want to monitor more selfie style photos and or video.

Wifi? Debatable and would depend on the connectivity and GUI.

Otherwise the K3 body and lens mount i wouldn't change. Although all the trouble with third party lenses not willing to make or offer the K-mount upgrade for their lenses. I would like to use more than one of the Sigma Art series lenses on my pentax cameras (sore point).

I guess that's about it. The K3 is already a good camera and the K-1 is a bit of a disappointment with its obviously restricted version of the sony A7R-II sensor.

I am pleased with my k-70 and to be blunt it's the only thing that has kept my interest in Pentax and not getting a Nikon d500.

There needs to be improvements to both the K-3 and the K-1. I don't care for sensor/camera performance limiting mierly so that it won't effect Sony cameras sales. There isn't enough competition in the digital camera sensor market atm.

Having tested the Sigma SD Quattro for about a week including high iso scaling it's difficult to resist buying one and i have a SD-1 Merrill. The foveon x3 noise issues are just about a thing of the past. Also the Sigma version of Pixel shift is so much better than the pentax version. Not to mention the chromatic aberration fix mode on the sigma is most useful for those lenses with the chromatic problems. The "H" model of the Sigma SD Quattro mirrorless camera shouldn't have a problem with noise even at 44.8mpix.

Just a thought, no need to go ballistic on me.
