I'm sure whatever they produce will be competent. Then the question
becomes will they have the lenses to complement the increased
resolution on a FF digital sensor? Right now there's nothing empiric
to know how their best FF legacy lenses will work on a FF sensor. No
doubt 'good enough' for web and smaller prints. So, following the way
of APS-C and FF competitors, a new body will prompt many to purchase
new, as of now, theoretical lenses.
If that's true, then the question is, if I need new lenses to make the
most out of the new body vs. accepting the likely limitations of
legacy lenses, is there much difference between staying with Pentax
and changing systems all together? Especially so, considering the
glacial slowness at which they seem to be moving.
I'm not anti-Pentax, simply pro-reality, wanting what I want in this
lifetime and as far this side of the finish line as possible.
They've taken too long already, but my patience is not quite yet come to
the end. IF Pentax brings a FF body to market within a reasonable time
frame, there is the advantage of being able to use legacy lenses until
better lenses become available/affordable. That's on the "pro" side of
the equation.
On the "con" side is the question of how long it's going to take Pentax
to get off the dime. A promise that they will announce a Full Frame
camera by 2014 is not enough.
