So it's like the old 6-10Mp cameras equal shooting 125 and now we all have
blad equivalent bodies and still drool for more.
taking this thought experiment literally, if we assume megapixel increases are
equivalent to film area increases
Curiously, we had our friends visit us today. I have exported all the
photos from our vacation in 1000 pixels over long side format and ran
them through built-in slide show program of my Panasonic 32 TV. They
looked rather surprisingly good in terms of visibility of things that I
thought made the

Pentax has been on it's way out since I was selling cameras 30 years
ago. They went from being an industry leader to a wannabe in one
generation of cameras.
All of a sudden, they have something to market that, in many ways,
leapfrogs the competition
Wow. I thought that most of us had advanced beyond thinking that
megapixels was the only metric to use when comparing DSLR
capabilities.

Dear Darren,

How soon we forget ... that the bigger the neg the better the image.

You are oversimplifying things a bit Collin. In the film world there
was more than size, there was WHAT FILM you put in the camera. You had
your choice of different speed films and had to pay a price in the
grain (for example). Similarly, in the digital world more pixels does
not equal larger

You. :) Certainly not the K-3. I was reacting to the word leapfrogs
in Bill's post.
Not sure what you are referring to when you say beat the same old
drum, and maybe you haven't been following the earlier threads on the
K-3
You are oversimplifying things a bit Collin.
Simplifying yes, but not, I would argue, oversimplifying.
Different films have the characteristic differences of changes to sensors
and firmware behind them.
Certainly nobody would argue that all DSLRs are functional equivalents.
What comes after
I was reacting to the word leapfrogs in Bill's post.
I know you were. The thing that, frankly, bugs me the most about your
criticisms, in particular, is that they come from someone who has no
personal experience with Pentax bodies since the K-7. What you cannot
know, from personal experience,
