I'm still hoping they'll use the A7rII's 42mp sensor, but my guess is it
will be the one from the A7r.
Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

All good points, P.J.
Odds are good that you are right and my conjecture is all wet.

But we all knew that was less than smart. Though Fuji seems to be doing a
pretty good job with their APS-C only system. (Though Fuji fanboys also
seem to have FF vs APS-C flame wars. Which is pretty funny considering that
for Fuji APS-C is full frame)*.
*I've also seen full frame vs M43 flame wars on Panasonic and Olympus fora,
which is also pretty funny.

They already tried explaining the reasoning behind pursuing an APS-C
only product line, and see where that got them.

I can't imagine why they would go with a 42mp sensor. Extreme high
resolution mp sensors are for companies that don't have a medium format
solution on the shelf. What you want to do is educate the user base on
why
they should want to aspire to having a medium format system, and make the
reasons for having a Pentax more compelling than the competition, and how
could it not be, since the competition is either outrageously priced or
even
more outrageously priced?

I continue to believe that it will be the 42MP Sony sensor used in the
Sony Sony a7R II and recently Cyber-shot RX1R II. A 36MP sensor would
be a significant upgrade from the current 24.3MP APS-C line, of
course, but that 36MP sensor has been around so long that I feel
Pentax would be opening themselves up to "Why didn't I just switch
brands when Nikon released the 800/800E 4 years earlier (though, to be
fair, the Pentax offering would probably be better compared with the
Nikon D810, which was introduced a mere TWO years ago).
Based on what other manufacturer's full frame camera owners have said,
a full frame sensor will definitely impact the selection of lenses you
are satisfied with. You don't have to be a big pixel peeper to detect
poor corner performance and this is the area that I expect to be the
differentiator. Although it is "mind over matter". If you don't mind -
it don't matter!

Good Sunday morning.
Any bets as to what size sensor, in MP, the K-1 will have? 24, 36, 42?
Manufacturer?
How will a given size impact lens suitability?
I'm coming from a K20D.

Rumors I remember have it as the same sensor Sony used in their A7r. Be
nice if it's the same as the A7r II.
