        No? I know what you mean, but crop sensors (as we all know them) are crop sensors. In dslr:s and digital backs.

    Is this FF competition going to generate lower prices? I hope so.

        Yes. I dream of a D40-like body with FF sensor. I don’t care much about auto-focus motor and other bells and whistles.

    I hope and pray this is true…. and that i can afford it.

    Even if it is the 645D rather than a 35mm framed camera…

    Now will this have the same prompt release as the 645? So we can really expect to see it, um, let’s see,…… about 2050? No, that’s probably too soon.

    Considering that Pentax obviously can’t deliver on their long-ago promised 645, why on earth would they now start making empty promises about a FF SLR? Is it that they are not satisfied with merely total destruction of their credibility, they prefer to shoot for complete and utter destruction in perpetuity?

    I call BS. Even if Pentax said it; it ain’t true!

    No way it would be true. How long are they saying “next year you’ll see Pentax FF” ? 5 years? !0 years? This company is a joke when it comes to FF.

    And in other news….
    A Pentax offical wonders why everyone stopped buying their current line of dSLRs, after they announced they would have a full-frame model next year. When onlookers mentioned the :”Osborne Effect”, the Pentax official asked “What’s that?”
