For me, the only remaining advantage of FF over smaller sensor size is the smaller depth of field of FF, when this can be simulated nicely in software, I will be ready to step over to smaller sensor sizes. Mirrorless is the future, I think, as it gives more freedom to the lens designer because

I am very happy with my K-5, but am still looking forward to the K-new (as usual, I will wait a year before buying so that other people can identify the bugs). I would very much like an articulating rear screen, though. I have missed some close-to-ground-level macro shots because there wasn’t

It depends on your vision of state of the art, as I've said, while I don't have anything against an adjustable rear screen, either the one on the back of the K-1 or the fully articulating screen on, K-70 and K-P, but, it is more fragile and therefor something else you can break, and I seem to

It will be a challenge for Ricoh/Pentax to frame a new FF DSLR successor to the K-1. But I don't doubt that there is a  future for FF though the camera market is shrinking. The trend for FF consumer models is now set by Canon EOS RP and Nikon Z5 with a price below that of fully featured

All Pentax FF and APS-C DSLR cameras (and those of competitors) have a movable screen in 2020 and there is no reason not to have it for new models. I bet therefore that the final version of the new flagship will have it too. The two videos demonstrate that Ricoh/Pentax put so much focus on the
