I'm betting Sony, the Samsung disaster is thankfully it the misty past only remembered as a vague myth. Electronics years pass so quickly.

Really, I expected a 24mp sensor, to make hardware development on a FF camera using a sensor in the same family as the Sony A99 and Nikon D600 easier. As 'tis the only FF ~20mp sensor close to 24s36mm is from Canon, which seems like an unlikely choice for a Pentax FF camera. So I don't expect a Pentax FF K mount till at least next year if ever.

Now the question is will Ricoh actually do an update of the 645D, as it falls further behind the competition, and is challenged from below by Canon's, Nikon's and Sony's* main stream 35mm format offerings.

*Maybe Sony, not so much.

You may not have seen my comment in another thread, but I noted that
the first credible sounding rumor was posted on the dpreview Pentax
SLR forum, allegedly coming from the Philippines factory. The word was
APS-C, 20MP, and dual card slots. To be announced in October.

If it is 20MP, I wonder if they went with Sony or Samsung sensor.
Neither one seems to outperform the K-5/II/IIs sensor in dynamic range
(but you do get more megapixels). I don't know if Pentax just NEEDS to
go in incremental upgrades to give them more "room", but I would
really be expecting it to be 24MP and the same sensor used in the
NEX7. Regardless, I'll be sitting pat with the K-5II for a long while,
I think.
