I not goo-goo gah-gah over 24mp. Everything in my image processing
system is sized for making at most 300dpi 13x19" prints, and even that
will severely strain the system. Any processing out of the ordinary
with a K20D file, (about 240dpi at that print size), can take a very
long time to complete in Photoshop, and those are files that only expand
out to about 80meg in memory when being processed. That said if I use a
lowish ISO and get the exposure right, so that the file doesn't need a
lot of processing and keep in mind the limitations of my particular
printer when processing the file, I get really nice printed results.
What I'd really like to see is a K-5III with a lot of the improvements
that the K-3 has but without the headphone bump and a 16mp image
processing train. Oh, yea, you if they could put the SR switch back
instead of the movie stuff that would be nice, and an aperture simulator
as long as I'm asking for the improbable.
That's not to say that I wouldn't like to see a 24mp full frame Pentax
K-1 with full K mount support, I just don't really need one at this
point in time.

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???
It's still a 24MP camera that's a year and a half to two years late.
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.
