It is also rumourised that "Together with this camera, which will likely not start shipping until this fall, Pentax will also be re-releasing many of their FA-series full-frame lenses as D-FA lenses."
Seems not to bad if all these are true and I would possibly withhold my 5D3 purchase plan if it really happens. The 5D3 and Canon lenses are just too large to my like, frankly, hope the K-3 should not be anything as large and heavy as the Canikon FF gaints like the 5D3 and D800! And, if I am satisfied with the K-3, I think I shall sell all my Canon glass (which surely worth more than a brand new current FF body!) and completely come back to the Pentaxland! :-D
N.B. It says it is "announced" but I could not find elsewhere on the Net had this "announcement", neither at DPR nor Pentax own official sites. So, just treat this as grains of salts or even hoax, as on April the 1st we should trust nothing! :-o

UHS-1 support not listed - no way the K-01 has it and not a FF

Wakey wakey folks it's that special day. Ricoh couldn't even lace their own boots let alone give the green light for a full frame camera
