The bulge in front of the pentaprism is where the AF-points display is. See
previous models:

Hence the K-3 can truly have a newer AF system, needing a larger AF-point
display module.
That's all. I can se no evidence of a larger pentaprism.

Subject: Re: New K-3 Image
Every once in a while you find a comment on PF that makes a LOT of sense:
"If rumors are true that the k-3 body is to be shared with the future
FF body than this makes sense. A larger design volume for the mirror
and viewfinder assembly will allow for:
- a bigger viewfinder for the APS-C model
- enough room for a FF mirror and viewfinder assembly in the FF model.
This might also explain the delay in releasing the k-3 which was
initially rumoured to be ready last photokina. If Pentax management
made a decision to market a FF model as revealed around last
Photokina, then they may have changed plans to share a common platform
with the k-3 and FF models in order to save development costs. The
delay in releasing the K-3 may be for effort required to redesign for
a common platform."

Yep, that's got to be for realsies. It also appears that whoever did
the bad photoshop job on the earlier K-3 image you shared HAD indeed
seen one, to make some of the modifications he made (which appear to
be accurate). We should only be a week to 10 days away from the
official announcement. I wonder how much mystery will remain when that
time comes.

Looks legit. Lots of speculation over the bump and larger prism assembly.

No rounded canon look, ala K-50/K-500. In fact I think it looks
downright sexy. Time to start dreaming......
