Actually I'm hoping for a K-5 III, because really every time the control
layout changes it takes months to get used to, I'm still having trouble
with the exposure compensation button and green button having been
switched, and the OK button functions being changed and the FN button
disappearing, (though they must have decided that was a bad idea, since
the FN button came back with an icon instead of a name on the K-3).
The K-3 III S, hum what would it have...
I know drop the drop the GPS and put back the pup up flash but make it
more powerful, and useful.
But both are pipe dreams, the imaging division of Ricoh, doesn't have
the resources to have as many cameras in their line as Nikon let alone
Canon,

It's no longer just a leaked report or rumor. I got an email about this
today, and you can find the official announcement on the Ricoh Imaging
website:

Pentax Forums has also written multiple articles about the new camera.
I've been interested in the sensor-shifting approach to resolution
enhancement for quite awhile now. The way they've implemented it, the final
image resolution stays at 24 megapixels, but the quality and accuracy of
those 24 megapixels is noticeably enhanced. Sharpness is increased, color
accuracy per-pixel is increased, and noise is noticeably reduced. The images
are comparable in quality to other cameras that have a higher pixel count in
their image sensors.
The new camera also has GPS and a compass built into the camera, with
logging capability. Not only will the new camera do astrotracing with the
internal GPS unit, but it might even help me avoid getting lost if I take it
on a hike in the woods. ;)
