But D7000 Discontinued ( rumor ) because they just launch D7100 ... in business term we understand that they need drop the price because to clear the stock .. but Pentax K-01 discontinued because of what ... is there K-02 ? what is the reason ... only they know ...
IMHO, K-01 was an "experiment"..
A simple body just to test out Pentax's first foray into focus peaking, that's all.
Coz right after that, Q came out followed by K30, each having that feature.
I hope I don't get bash here but MY prediction is, K5ii/S is more or less the same thing; new AF system but still incorporating the old K5 processor, therefore denying Focus Peaking.
Whereas K30 has the new processor, allowing Focus Peaking and slightly improved AF, perhaps due to better hardware, latest processor but not the newer AF system used in the K5ii/S.
Macam neither here nor there..
Thus, I'm looking at the possibility that the new rumored K3/S will be everything into 1.. Think K30+K5ii/S..
If so, then the rumored K3/S would be the real Pentax flagship, along with K30 as "entry-level", and PERHAPS K5ii/S would be the bridge between them.
Ultimately, just grab whatever that suits your needs and budget currently and be happy.. Technology nowadays advance so fast. Where got such thing as investment in electronics one...?
Sekali the FF have Retina Display + FB + 4G data support how? Haha!
