My source tells me 20-24mp sensor, no FF (yet), and due October. Better af,
possibly tethering, possibly faster flash sync speed, possibly dual slots.
All pretty obvious, except perhaps the dual slots.
645D has dual slots, so it is/was just a matter of time before it
appears in Pentax's "top of the line" DSLR.
Tethering is a massive issue for me, and they wouldn't confirm that for me,
but did allude to it.
And now I've already said way too much and could get into big trouble, so
going back into hiding again. X
I wouldn't worry. Nothing new here.
(PS Eye-Fi Cards totally suck for tethering, whether it be jpg or RAW. :( )

That is a combination I have thought about Paul. And it would require much
less up-front investment than a new camera body or two . . .

How about this...
Eye-Fi Pro card - set to transfer only JPGs
Shoot RAW+JPG with JPGs set to smallest file size
Let the built-in wi-fi transfer from the card to the iPad. No need for a
card reader and the small JPGs transfer fairly quickly.
Then run the JPGs through Photosmith as planned.

I have been thinking through "issues" with my workflow when I travel.
Considering how to leave behind my laptop and travel just with iPad. One
quite appealing approach is to shoot jpeg+RAW, download the jpeg's to the
iPad, tag and sort on the iPad (Photosmith app), then download the RAW files
to main computer back home and synch the metadata. All this is pretty
straightforward if there are two cards: RAW's go to one card, jpeg's to the
other.
but Pentax doesn't really need me, they need new customers, so it's
probably most important how it will appeal to people who haven't already got
a K-5-level camera
Something else that would interest me: remember tethering? Pentax used to
have tethering capability on early DSLR's. Top-end modern cameras have
wireless tethering to iPads or smartphones. It would be nice if Pentax were
to rediscover tethering and join that group . . .
