Norm, I am approaching the advent of the K1 in the same way I approached the release of the 645 by Pentax in my film days. I prefer the smaller size and lower weight of the smaller sensor/film size cameras. I already carry 18-20 Kg of stuff on my back and a tripod on my shoulder when I head out. Not to mention that She Who Must Be Obeyed would turn me into a soprano voice if I spent that kind of money on a camera.

I won't upgrade to the K-1. I'm getting what I want from my new-to-me K3. It is such an upgrade from my K10D, bought in 2007, that I'm in la la land with it. My history with Pentax stretches back to 1961 with a used original model complete with Tak 55/2.2 preset. Used that into the 1970's when the shutters wore out. Replaced it with a used KX. Replaced that with a new (first!) SF-1 because the LX + winder was too much money. Went to Chicago for a few years, and said SF-1 somehow migrated into my wife's hands to replace her venerable ME that was bought with a 28-80 for a two month bicycle trip in Europe with our daughter. "Hi, Mom, wanna go biking in Europe for a coupla months?" The ME and lens went into her back pack just fine. I HAD TO buy a brand new MZ-S and FA 24-90, of course. MZ-S was replaced by K10D in November of 2007. The K10 was replaced with the K-3 last year. I still have the 24-90.
