Pentax has been on it's way out since I was selling cameras 30 years
ago. They went from being an industry leader to a wannabe in one
generation of cameras.
All of a sudden, they have something to market that, in many ways,
leapfrogs the competition rather than being two steps behind with their
best.
There is no sarcasm in looking at what they have come up with here and
saying they have more on the ball now than they have had for nearly
three decades.
It seems to have worked out for Pentax, finally.

I agree with much of what you say, but leapfrogs???
In some respects yes. Nikon has nothing that specs out to the K3 for
example.
It's still a 24MP camera that's a year and a half to two years late.
That's one metric. I'm sure you know there is more to cameras than pixel
count. It would have been nice if Hoya had done more with the brand in
the five years or so they had it, but it is what it is.
It's amazing that 3 months ago the K-5/K-5II fulfilled everyone's
needs and 'why would one want more resolution?', and now it's goo-goo
ga-ga over the K-3.
I've never said i didn't want a higher res sensor, though whether I need
it is another story. What I need is an AF system that works reliably in
the studio. Pentax fell down, and fell down badly with the K5 in this
regard.
