I think most K7/K5 users are quite happy with what they have, with respect to not upgrading to a K3 model; however Pentax Man (or woman) by their very nature still seek perfection.
Does cramming more pixels onto the K3 means more in camera processing and larger capacity memory cards? I think the answer maybe yes.
For me, it would have been logical to make room for a full frame sensor within the confines of the K3 Body and called it the K3FF. I personally have a range of prime Pentax and Tamron SP lenses (with PKA mounts fitted); I can get £40 for each mount, change them for AiS (for Nikon) and use my prize primes on a Nikon D700. I honestly think Pentax made a serious error of judgement in launching the K3 in it's present form.
Personally I would prefer 16 - 20 mega pixels in a full frame sensor. If anyone has a different point of view, that can persuade me to retain my allegiance to the Pentax brand I will follow this forum with interest.

'Holy Grail', full frame? I think it's as close as '35mm' digital SLR user's can get to perfection.
