i WISH pentax would also offer this camera with decent video capabilities, an area where canon/nikon/sony/panasonic/olympus have all done MUCH better than pentax.
i know pentax wants to remain a dslr still image provider but top of the line dslr cameras really do need to offer more codecs + sound options than pentax has being willing to do so up until now.
ymmv
be well.

If Pentax is going to use a Sony sensor, you might be disappointed in the video features. My theory on why Nikon's video features are paltry is due to Nikon's agreement with Sony. Sony licenses the chip to Nikon, Nikon agrees to not add video features that would threaten Son'y camcorder division. My supporting evidence? Sony cripples video features on their DSLR and E-Mount cameras. Otherwise, Nikon could go crazy with video features because it does not have a video division to protect.
Canon stopped pushing the limits on DSLR once they came up with the Cinema line. Pretty much the only still camera maker making any progress is Panasonic.
