My expectation is that we will continue to see APS-C sensor systems with a higher capacity. Probably a 20Mp body at $200 more than the K5 II series. But I don't expect a FF for a while yet. Why? Not enough lens support, unless they release a bunch of them at the same time. -- PDML

Evidence now suggests to me that if a FF is coming at all, it probably won't be announced until Photokina in Sept. However, a online retailer in China's New Pentax models lists: 645D II K-3s K-01 II (no details or photos yet) Presumably, if there is a K-3s, there is also a K-3. Listed as a 24MP

You've probably seen the rumors starting to come fast and furious regarding an upcoming Pentax announcement. It may be worth noting that the Sony A99, a 24.3MP full frame, was announced on Sept. 12th. Rumors then said that this would be the sensor that Pentax would be developing a full frame
