I am hoping that we see something out of Pentax - Ricoh that tells

consumer standard for DSLR.
Maybe. Assuming I buy an SLR, I'm basically wavering between the K-5 and
the OM-D, I certainly don't want anything bulkier/heavier (especially for
telephoto work). I picked Pentax for my upcoming cruise because I wanted
weather sealing and m4/3 is really lacking there. I suspect it's not
just cost that keeps people from full-frame even now, given the overall
success of m4/3.
If I wanted to be picky, I would point out that the OM-D isn't an SLR
but I'm not going to be picky....
Having recently (as in the past 12 months) bought a K-5 and a Q, I
won't really be in the market for a new camera for a couple of years.
What I do know is that, when the time comes, my next camera won't be
an SLR - it will almost certainly be a mirrorless (m4/3 or APS-C).
If I was to choose now, it would be something like the NEX 6 or 7.
Maybe Pentax will produce something equivalent between now and when
I'm ready to buy. I hope so, because I'm invested in Pentax glass but
if not, I'll probably change brands.
