I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the K-3 is going to be the most significant leap in model features in the history of the company.
There are really four big components to a DSLR: Sensor, Image Processor, Exposure System, AF system I would suggest that the K-3 is going to be the most significant jump in a Pentax DSLR model EVER because it is upgrading not just ONE of those systems, but ALL of them: 24MP sensor, PRIME III, 2nd processor to help handle exposure & white balance, and SAFOX-XI. I expect the K-3 to have butt-kicking FPS. The best video in a Pentax product EVAR, advanced in-camera HDR, the best AF ever in a Pentax DSLR, and a huge library of corrections possible for Pentax DA & DFA lenses. This is a camera that is actually going to *make your lenses better*. With no AA filter and a 24MP sensor, it also goes without saying that this will be among the highest resolution APS-C camera on the market. I also think that the K-3 is going to be followed by a 645DII announcement, within a relatively short period of time. It will feature the PRIME III image processor and improved AF system (and probably features like Focus Peaking). It is going to beat the pants off the original 645D in speed of use (at every level).
