I did find the jump from K20D to K3 to be well worth the cost and can say
for sure that the K3 has enabled me to get better images than the K20D
simply because of the live view and focus peaking.
The jump from the K10D to the K20D wasn't much of an improvement IMO.
The jump from the *ist D to the K10D did have some advantages for me -
mainly file size and camera body feel - the *ist D didn't 'feel' like a real
DSLR IMO.

I am using a K3 currently.
As for what a full-frame Pentax could do for me, scratch an itch.
Don't confuse "want" with "need".
Nobody *needs* a full-frame Pentax. Nobody needs a K3.
Or K5, K7, K20D, ... for that matter. You can do what you "NEED" with a
*ist-D.
WANT is a different story.

Are you currently shooting with a K3 ?
Just curious as to what you anticipate the jump to full frame would do
for you?

I suppose the only better Pentax camera available for a long time
would
be the 645Z - it has Live View, ISO above 200.000 and a flipable
screen.
I can't afford it yet, but someday I may buy a used one :-)
I've a K3 some weeks now and I'm delighted with it. I note that heavier
discounts are about, even in the short time I've owned one, so
something new
to come? I'm not bothered now, as the K3 is a delight.
The 645Z is remarkable, and I thought very costly, until I looked at
the
competition, some of which are three times as much.

I'll be set if it comes out sometime before GFM Nature Photography
Weekend or I don't find another guitar I want to buy.
