While I'd like to see the return of the aperture simulator, what I's
really like is a larger sensor, maybe not full frame, maybe a 1.3 or 1.2
crop. with a 14-16mp sensor. With the current noise handling all other
things being equal picture quality will be improved at higher isos. But
most likely we'll get more digital fripperies more pixels, on an
approximately APS-C sized sensor.
Then there's always miniaturization, compare a DSLR, pretty much any
DSLR to an LX. Maybe if they just got the thickness of the camera body
down to being only slightly greater than the LX

I'm awfully happy with the K-5. (I was out last night trying to take
flash-free pictures in the light of the full moon using my old Sigma
30mm f1.4; it didn't come off for one reason or another, but I haven't
given up). Anyhow, it can shoot in as little light as I'll ever need,
and as many frames-per-second as I'll ever need, with as many pixels
as I'll ever need, and has a battery as big as I'll ever need, and so
on and so on.
I'm thinking if I were a Pentax product manager trying to figure out
what to put in the K-3 or K-1... I just wouldn't know where to start.
Smaller would be nice but you can only take that so far before the
K-glass gets way out of balance with the body; the K-5 looks
deliciously butch with the short extra-fat Sigma on.
Once again, what should Pentax be working on? -T
