Nope. You'll never get this from Pentax! Change to Nikon or Canon if you really want it!

Rice, can you justify your answer a bit, thanks

Asking for a 39/51/61-point multi-cross type AF system from Pentax is just like asking for the moon!

according to the rumor about K-5 II http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/visitors-cente... Pentax-Ricoh should do something new with AF than just add +1 digit to SAFOX XX number and make "better 11-point AF system"

The SAFOX X has been vastly improved by Pentax' standard. It has 21 AF point than 11 and its software algorithms have been overhauled and revamped.

Rice, you have to be optimistic, perhaps Ricoh can provide resources to archive it soon.

Well, it appears at the Chinese websites, but of course this is yet uncertain until it is officially announced!~

Let me count the ways:
1. Entry Level dslr
2. K5 replacement
3. 560mm prime telescopic lens
4. X5 super zoom undersized sensor
5. Ricoh stuff p&s?????

Anyone else care to fill in the rest?
