The K-70 will be the first non flagship with a fill 14-bit readout. I don't think there is an imaging sensor capable of a full 16-bits. The medium format cameras advertise 16-bit color, but in reality its a bit less than that and much closer to the 14-bit the 645Z is using.
Also the K100D already exists I think. Realistically Pentax needs to come up with all new model naming conventions and numbers at this point. On Fri, Jun 10, 2016 at 10:11 PM, P.J.
