My name is Tom and back in 2004 I suggested that APS-C and APS-C lenses were a gimic and only put forth as way to sell digital cameras, before larger sensors came down in price, and that Pentax would eventually have to produce a FF body if it wanted to stay competitive when everyone else started doing it. I'm positive I said it. :-)
Not that they couldn't just keep selling APS-C cameras to a certain market segment... but then they would sort of be the Sanyo of cameras. BTW, my 3 favorite features on the K-7 are antishake, 100% viewfinder, and level meter.
