Well that is unless Pentax puts a 24x36mm sensor into a K3 body...

That's a useful site. Everyone that's lusting after full frame should
compare any of the Pentax K series to a Nikon D600. You may want to
think twice. gs

Hard to argue with what Hogan said. I'd much rather travel with my
K-7 and a couple of small lenses than try to haul a full frame body
with FX lenses. The difference in size and weight is significant.
For sure.
New Pentax and Olympus top of the line cameras ...
Both well spec'ed.
Both compact.
Both have a suitably comprehensive lens line.
Both with their own plusses and minuses.
I'm in the Olympus camp for various reasons, and I've ordered the new Olympus.
Handled it recently, looking forward to its arrival. I was curious about the
sizing difference between these two remarkable cameras, so I went to
camerasize.com. I put this page together as I thought you might be interested:

The Olympus gets its slim proportions through the lack of reflex mirror box,
pentaprism, built-in flash, etc. The sensors are pretty similar in size
although different in proportion (13x17.3 vs 16x24). Micro-FourThirds lenses
are quite compact as well, although that depends on focal length and speed to
some degree, as well as on the lens mount requirements.
What struck me more than the size differences is the difference in number of
buttons and such. Ricoh concentrated on lots of discrete function buttons,
where Olympus made a big use of the 2x2 control system (the little lever on the
back above your thumb flips button functions from an A set to a B set).
It will be interesting to see how they play out in use. :-)
