You don't much time at PentaxForums do you? :)
People love to randomly make shit up as rumors.

It's a good point. Since the K5 we've heard little speculation about what's
next.

Well not much rumours for Pentax. There is nothing about the K-line, all the
rumours going around are focusing on the mirrorless systems of Pentax. One
being APS-C (I do believe the NC-1 pictures floating around is the APS-C or
4/3 one) and one being a small sensor one (some says it's called Pen
The 645D was next and it's making all kinds of waves of it's own.
And I'm still figuring out how to take full advantage of the K5.
I suppose the next step is a full frame sensor for the K5.
I would like a fast DFA 400 mm or even DFA 300 mm.

Well, what's missing?
The K-5 addressed practically all the criticisms of the K-7. and
added the astounding low-light capabilities of the new
The K5 already offers so much that I feel a little guilty for not having taken
advantage of all it's features. Looking anxiously forward to the rest of the
adventure.

Far as I'm concerned, digital SLR cameras have been on a plateau for
several years. Refinements have been more incremental than quantum
leaps since 2007.

Eh, it's like computers, you have to buy when you are ready, not when
the camera you really want is ready. If you keep waiting, you'll
never get one.
You can always sell and upgrade when the new camera comes out.

There were mirrorless cameras long before digital came along, of course. Some

I really don't see the DSLR going away for quite a while. As John

A DSLR and a MILC is a nice combo.
