Well I want something I can't that's well within current technology,
wouldn't cost nearly as much money as a 24x36mm sensor and would make my
legacy lenses more usable. If I got that I wouldn't care all that much
about a 24x36 sensor.

Dichotomy again. What Pentax does must be correct, while what they do
not do is unnecessary, unneeded, or unwanted.
Sorry, Tom, this is not to point at you personally, but your statement
is exactly why I choose to call the 135 factor sensors "Fool's Format"
instead of anything else. Whatever forum you go to, there are whiners
(RiceWhine, anyone?) who bitch that
their-brand-do-not-have-the-fancy-stuff-of-the-other-brand. Now it's
the chip format, before that it was either buffer size, AF speed,
number of spots in the light metering systems... the list goes on. If
Pentax complied to the current whiners, the whiners would immediately
turn to the lack of 135 format lenses, and think that Pentax sucks
because they're not able to push a magic button and spew forth a full
lens range to fit the new sensors within weeks of launching the new
camera.
The bottom line is that some people seem to thrive on disdain, demand
what they can't have, and generally meet any new development with the
intent of pointing out what could have been better for them
personally. And then of course post that opinion to any online forum
where they can hope to be read.
If they really meant it as seriously as their posts would have you
think, they should have switched brands a long time ago. And quite
possibly switched brands multiple times over the years as the
technology leadership drift from one brand to the next, but that's the
only way to be honest about ones perpetual dissatisfaction with any
particular brand. Pentax included.
Why not focus on the nice things instead, for a change?
