In my opinion, the K-5 badly needs:
1 - A way to kill the evil LV button, preventing it to flash the screen on
your face while trying to change the AF point at eye level. A menu option
for disabling it (or doubling it as the 'left arrow' button) and
re-allocating the LV function to the trash
Not that far for me, /if/ I needed the capability, but I see no
immediate need. The K20 already allows prints bigger than I would

Among the countless talks about a full-frame Pentax being released soon, the
only credible one was the one who didn't happen.
I mean the MR-52/MZ-D/K-1 prototype seen at
Don't forget the Tabasco.

Despite keeping relatively high prices, mirrorless systems are told to have
already taken 12% of sales on interchangeable-lens systems in Japan, and
growing quickly. I wonder what Canon Nikon are waiting for jumping on the
boat...

Nikon and Canon, are probably worried that mirrorless systems will
cannibalize their current entry level DSLR business. Sony Pentax and
Olympus have much less to loose and much more to gain.

I agree with the gist of this. People focus (no pun intended) on FF
systems as the way to go because there are so many lenses out there
built for this format. Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic, etc. are
beginning to have extensive lens systems based on smaller formats.
Given the quality of the sensors
For me, it's the DOF that is the biggest point. The 25/1.4 Summilux is a great
lens, but a 25mm lens has a huge DOF compared to a 50/1.4 wide open.

I thought the consensus was that DFS couldn't be turned off for
exposures over 30s...
So which is it!?

I understand, but we got used to one system (35mm) because we had to.
It was a trade-off of weight and size relative to 120. People will
adjust to the new smaller format, and blur their background in
Photoshop. Or better, the camera will do it. You choose max DOF or
less and the camera
I'm resigned to the fact that things may stay pretty much where they are for
the foreseeable future (Canon and Nikon for full-frame). But I'm so smitten
with the tininess of the K-x and the high quality of the 31, 43, and 77 Pentax
lenses, I don't feel particularly deprived right now.

The difference between 24x36 and APS sensor camera systems?
