K3 in 24S - Real Photo!

Well, I am not "lying", it clearly shows that it is a 24-seater K3 van, not a bus nor a train of course, as the FF train has already been missed by Pentax these days! Lol..

4 - About the full format: Can we expect a full-frame K in 2013-2014? What will happen about the optical range?

Pentax Ricoh will first move towards the development of the APS-C K-mount and this will bring excellent surprises during the year 2013. However, Pentax retains the possibility of developing a digital SLR 24x36 but it is not the priority

4- A propos du plein format : Peut on espérer un plein format en monture K d’ici 2013-2014 ? Qu’en sera t il de la gamme optique ?

Pentax Ricoh va d’abord s’orienter vers le développement du système APS-C en monture K et cela devra amener d’excellentes surprises durant l’année 2013. Cependant, Pentax garde la possibilité de développer un reflex numérique 24x36 mais cela n’est pas la priorité

NOT a priority? So they can't even bring a 24M APS-C on time for this year and we have to wait until 2013 for that, THEN they *may just might consider* an FF? By that time, 6D MkII and D650 would be out (2nd gen consumer grade FF) and SOny's FF NEX may also become a reality.

This is *$^% rediculous.

Who cares about "budget FF"? And 24MPix APS-C sensor is not good enough yet, I'm glad they didn't use it.

Pentax said yet agian no plans for a FF. I have no plans on investing any more $$$ in pentax even if they produce a FF. Pentax is a dead brand. It is lo longer declining it is dead rehashing existing cameras.
