"Old school" shooters doesn't necessarily mean OLD shooters. I think the
target market is much less than half the average age of this list.
It's a camera for young, hip photographers who DO believe roaming the
Scottish countryside looking for dramatic light is romantic and not as
Godfrey says "cold, probably wet, taking pictures before I freeze to death."
OTOH, a trip to Scotland would mean another stop at the Edinburgh
Woollen Mill shop across the street from "The Scotch Whisky Experience".
So there's at least two ways of taking the chill off.

"complicated".
It sure doesn't match the K-3 in hardly any category other than
being a full frame sensor. FPS is 3/sec slower than the K-3. Only
has 1/4000th of a second top shutter speed. Doesn't have switchable
AA filter. Doesn't have 2 card slots. AF sensitivity only goes to -1
EV.
I don't see ANY mention of video (or did I miss it). It seems like
THIS is the main reason they are marketing it the way they are.
Takes some nerve (and marketing) to put out an expensive DSLR that
doesn't even have the ability to do ANY video. (Frankly, video in a
DSLR is not terribly important to me, but if I were buying a camera I
guess I'd rather have a camera with the CAPABILITY than one that
didn't give me the CHOICE to NOT use it. :)

Am I the only one thinking the Df is way too complicated for being

I'm sure you saw the accidentally leaked price on Amazon for the
DF ($2746). I saw the D800 on Overstock.com the other day for
$2200.

It's nice, if it had a K mount or if I was much richer I'd buy
one :)

In my opinion, that is a pretty sweet looking camera,
especially in silver. Maybe the rumors of an LX-style Pentax
camera aren't too far off?
