I agree Boris. it's alway better to wait. However, I don't like to wait to sell my oldest body, because once the new camera is released, it becomes a generation older and loses value.

Absolutely. As long as you do things /knowingly/ and not by the impulse. It seems that many people on PF are very impulsive and very fanatical about Pentax. Neither is good IMO.
However, my own testing suggests some people may be imagining problems. On one of several tests I conducted, I noticed that a speck of black dust on a piece of white paper can show up as a blob when the paper is shot out of focus at f22. The testing has to be performed very carefully and should be repeated with an alternate target. Paul
Indeed. The more delicate the problem (and this one is probably the most delicate to date) the more accurate and careful has to be the testing.
