I doubt that a lack of a competitive 24 x 36 camera will lead to immediate defections over the holiday buying season, although it might cost Pentax some sales to impressionable newbies. The Nikon certainly wouldn't interest me if it couldn't equal the low-light performance of the K-5. If the K-5 II matches the noise performance of the K-5 with much better autofocus, it will get some excellent reviews, and it will sell. Their are already some preliminary whispers of praise for the filter-free version. Pentaxians have fixated on frame dimension because they don't have a big one. I suspect that much of the rest of the world doesn't care.
A lot of people are really fixated on the 24x36 format, and do sell one brand for another based on that feature. I want FF for the viewfinder, but I will mostly stop using some very nice lenses. I won't have much use for my 31, 43 and 77, for example.
