Good to read since my plan is to pre-order the new camera and upgrade immediately. Did this with K-7 and K-5 and I'm still happy.

Well why I asked for UHS-I support that in the next year gets SanDisk PRO cards SDXC with 95 MB/s writespeed, wich is 4 times faster then we currently use in K-5/645D. So how much faster do we need, before the processor is again the thing that needs an upgrade. Those new, big and fast cards are very expensive.

I think that XQD will be the downgrade path for CF cards to save space and not for ugrade path for Pentax.

Well my ultimate upgrade would have a APS-H sensor with 16 megapixels at max and a stunning performance at hi-iso-settings.

For my K-5 replacement (I have two and one is Silver) I have the following wishes:

1) Sensor: looking at the sensor performance it can have the current 16 mp sensor or the new 24mp sensor. Both of them are good, but not making me to descide to swith both camera's (so I keep my K-5 Silver).
2) Electronics. If it runs on a PRIME III processor that is at least twice the speed of the PRIME II processor and supports UHS-I writingspeed I will replace my black K-5.
3) AF: If it has a descent performance/upgrade to being able of AF-c properly and better low light performance and no focus shift with certain light I will replace my black K-5.
4) SR: a better performing SR system would make me upgrade the black K-5.

Since I don't expect a better performing APS-C sensor at hi-iso-settings at this time there is no way that it will be meeting all my demands.

For a compact well performing APS-H sensor camera with all above mentioned improvements I would trade in both of my K-5's. I do hope they will make a Silver edition again.
