Let’s dream: Pentax 24 Megapixel Full Frame camera coming in march 2013?

A fake Full Frame K11 designed by Ron Hendriks.

I know of quite a many readers here patiently waiting for a Full Frame mirrorless camera that doesn’t cost $8,000 like a Leica M9/MP/Monchrome camera. A real mirrorless without rangefinder system and Electronic Viewfinder. There is maybe some (crazy) hope!

According to a DChome rumor picked up and translated by RiceHigh Pentax will launch the most compact Full Frame body ever made by March 2013. It will use the 24 Megapixel Sony FF sensor we will first see in use for the upcoming Sony A99 and Nikon D600.

It may be crazy but Pentax is one of the few companies capable of launching completely “different” products. I certainly hope the rumor is true!
