I reserve the right to both bitch AND take pretty pictures with my crappy gear.

I thought that bitching was kind of allocated for PentaxForums crowds... ;-)
Seriously, however, I can totally feel for you, Tom, because as you said
in another message for your landscape work pixel count is most valuable.
I thought by the way that you were going to get (already had gotten?)
Sony NEX-7 which is both small and boasts the 24 MP sensor.
I should point out that I recently had a change to shoot with Nikon D700
+ their top of the line 24-70/2.8 zoom and some high end flash for about
an hour straight. The combo is amazing in terms of ease of use,
reliability and predictably good results. The flash is outstanding. The
lens is sharp. Camera is responsive and seemingly knows what I wanna do.
I'm kind of not very fond of Nikon colors but I certainly can learn to
work with or around that. The only real issue I am having personally
with this gear is its size and weight. With my rather weak wrists I
really felt physical pain and fatigue at the end of that hour fun shoot.
The frames came out very good but I kind of crawled back to my K-5 with
DA*16-50/2.8 (allegedly comparable gear in Pentax-land) and all of a
sudden it did not feel all that big and heavy.
In your case, I think that 36 million of pixels that are at least as
good as those of K-5 (that's what it seems they're saying out there) is
indeed very desirable proposition.
