Ah, geeze Jack. We were just recovering from the K7 Replacement thread.
Looks like my inbox might be overflowing when I log on in the morning.

And so to bed....
Doesn't seem to me like there's anything new or controversial that we
didn't already know.
Oh, I don't know. This is the first time I've seen anyone from Pentax
mention a camera beyond the K-7 in the lineup (other than the 645D).
It looks as though we might see the expected mid-life kicker for the K-7
later on this year. Of course there is all the usual speculation about
what this will be, and the whole range of improbable suggestions (such
as using the lower-resolution K-x sensor). But that's nothing compared
to the predictions as to just what a higher-spec camera body would be.
There's the all-too-predictable dichotomy between those who expect (or
at least hope) to see a 'full frame' sensor and those who are sure that
Pentax aren't large enough to have three separate lens systems.
Only time will tell.
The thing is it wouldn't be three seperate lens systems, only two.
Sure, the DA lenses won't serve a 24x36mm camera but the DFA, (assuming
Pentax keeps that designation), will serve 24x36 and 16x24mm formats.
So it's really 2 and 1/4 lens lines. As the DA lenses reach the end of
their lives all those except the specialty WA lenses would be replaced
with DFA equivalents.
