If there will be a Pentax large-sensor in the Spring, might there not be more than one? Why come out with only the 42MP? An alternative offering, 24M to 30M would provide a stepping stone. It would make marketing sense. And my K30 @ work is reaching its end. I'm seeing some flakey pixels. Though not critical for what we do, it's definitely a sign of electronic aging. The time to replace is coming up shortly.
Wednesday night I went to a presentation on astro-landscape (night) photography. The person giving the talk absolutely loved his 12MP Sony A7s for that purpose, the usable high ISO was hard to believe.
That being said, I don't understand why with a bit of math a 42 MP sensor could not put out 12 MP files with the same noise and DR as the 12 MP sensor. My feeling is that you could probably come pretty close to the noise of the 12 MP sensor, while still retaining most of the resolution of the 12 MP sensor, particularly for high contrast edges.
