Yeah, don't let anyone tell you to act your age. Grey hair is honourable but old age is abominable.

That's some good magnification you got there Norm. Good you're not letting the physical handicap get in the way of a good shot. ;)

Exactly.
Even lugging around a 750g APS-C camera vs a 1kg FF camera of similar dimensions will not really make much of a difference to me, and I'm a small bloke.

What was emphasised was that the camera was heavy. Little interest in how good ergonomically it was. But that's just bias for you.
But clearly, 1kg of camera is fairly hefty, even in comparison to the other FF options, particularly MILCs. But of the dSLRs, no competitor is heavier or thicker. But significantly much? Depends on the camera and whether it offers WR.

It appears to be a general disregard for the market share of Pentax and what that means for their R&D capability. Ricoh-Pentax were at least smart enough to develop and release the variety of DFA lenses prior to FF. They could have just done new DA lenses and waited until the K-1 came out before announcing the 24-70, 70-200, 100 macro, 15-30, 150-450 and the 560, just to create the shock and awe when the announcement came out. But they would have surmised that releasing the DFA lenses early served two purposes: Pentaxians are preparing for FF, and Pentax is not under the pump to try and meet FF lens demands when the K-1 comes out.

And there are more DFA lenses in the pipeline as you would expect, but the timeframe won't be weeks, it will be months to years. We can't expect the niche player to be up against the big boys with how quickly they can develop and produce quality FF gear.

And most people will not sift through the bias from a conflict of interest, and go with the popular vote as to which camera/system is "best" when they go to buy one.
That's why Pentax remains the brand for the discerning photographer. Not the greatest for the brand, but they're selective with their marketing and don't try too hard to overcome the "photographic groupthink".
