I think I'd actually be more inclined to buy a Pentax FF DSLR if it were 24mp than 36mp. Especially if Pentax worked the same magic with that sensor that they have with the 16mp sensor in the K-5. A 300 dpi, image would be 13 1/3" x 20" in size if you printed the full frame. Assuming a high def

I'd probably buy a FF body just because I've been itching to buy a new Pentax DSLR for a while now But the rationale really depends on the specifications of a new FF DSLR. *IF* the sensor resolution / pixel size was comparable to the K-5 and the image image quality was just as good, then a

I think the only thing that would make me buy one is if they stopped tanking the 16x24 format seriously, and stopped the K-5 type camera. And then I might as well jump to something else, like Fujifilm X. The files I get from K-5 are big enough, ISO are good enough, DOF is suffiently shallow and
