By full-sized, I was referring to a sensor that was the size of 35mm
film (24mmx36mm or thereabouts).
What on earth is an "official rumor"?
A credible one. One that can be traced back to people who might
actually have some real information.

I wouldn't describe Pentax is stalled. The upgrades have been
continuous. There have never been any official rumors of a larger
sensor in a Pentax compact DSLR body. (What's full? Al sensors are
full size if they're not nicked or chipped.) The K5 is
substantially improved over the K7. But let the whining begin:-)

My overall feeling is the Pentax is stalled in R&D. There have
been rumors of a full-sized sensor Pentax, which would be
wonderful for us who have Pentax lenses designed for film (that
would be ALL of my Pentax lenses except for the 40mm pancake).
There is little that would entice me to move from the K-x with
43/1.9 to something else. The combination is lightweight and fast
and comfortable in my hand.
Maybe next year.

1/ pentax gave some cool bags
2/ there were some pretty nice girls there ;)
3/ the Fuji x100 is Very Very nice specially it's hybrid
viewfinder,
Imo it will sell well (considering it's niche).
4/ K5 AF is indeed more nervous, how much better af-c s hard to
tell though
5/ 18-135 is nice, large but short. Felt way better constructed
than
other DA WR zooms.
6/ once setup correctly, the k5 did NOT do DFS after about 3
minutes Bulb pose.
7/ 12800 iso quite useable with a pinch of Lr3 NR. 51200 is salvage
only obviously.
8/ no memory cards were allowed in camera :(
9/ nothing new on video controls
10/ mirror lock up just as in K7
11/ buffer (bummer) very short indeed due to 14bit raw but they may
change that or add a 12bit mode.
12/ the 645d is.... Heck I WANT one :) and very nervous AF IMO.
13/ Pentax still have the biggest bags :)
I may remember more after a bit of a sleep.
