22 MPix digital MF under 10000$

[J. C. O'Connell]

Pentax will go FF 35mm, theres tons and tons of FF 35mm PK
lenses out there to use that kind of body with great results. Current DA
lenses dont add up to much. Resistance is futile. FF 35mm 
PK DSLR bodies are inevitable....

I think they'll bother this time. They may not even go there --  
larger than 1.3 or so. The DA* lenses seem to be their brand  
statement. If they're smart, they won't just  walk all over it. I  
suspect that if Pentax ever goes beyond  1.3 crop, it will be with a  
645 camera. It's just good marketing. And as there is more and more  
money wrapped up in the brand name, good marketing will take precedence.
