They are not the only ones talking about the rumored new "flagship" of the Pentax line which is undoubtedly intended to replace the now discontinued K-5. The K-3 however, is supposed to have the new Sony "full frame" sensor and come in at 24 MP potentially making this one serious contender in the Pro-DSLR market.
Pentax has always had a knack for being a little different so it will be interesting to see just what "goodies" this camera debuts with. In any case, assuming I don't have to take out a second mortgage to buy it this could finally be the digital camera I have been waiting for.

Pentax To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
Update: I happened to notice this post and realize that two Photokina's have come and gone and still no K-3! Since I wrote this of course Pentax has been bought by Ricoh, released the K-5II's, the K-01, the X-5, the Q and the Q-10, and the MX-1 so they haven't exactly been idle. Rumors still abound about a full frame DSLR and just this past week an interview with John Carson, Sr. Manager of Sales & Marketing for Pentax, indicated that they are studying the market for such a camera - a definite maybe!
