Well, I reckon they have to go full frame because the APS-C DSLR market will collapse on the mid term due to the rise of mirrorless systems. However, I can't see how they can compete with a FF DSLR price-wise based on low production volume. Honestly I'm absolutely stunned that Pentax isn't going (APS-C or 43) mirrorless because small form factors have been their unique selling point.

Hi,
I think Pentax are blocked a bit by their K mount in mirrorless,a change in registration distance means another round of lenses, unless they make thinner bodies with an adapter. They're fighting on an awful lot of fronts now with full frame announced as well!
Dave's cliches!
