That's the 35mm gang

Nikon users felt abandoned with problems of D600 and D800. but agree on point that pro class APS sensor will do very good in my opinion if brand preference is out of picture. stigma of Samsung as electronics only company is big hurdle.

Check out the Pro DX forum.  Those people have felt abandoned by Nikon because a D400 never materialized along with the D4.  Some of them eventually bought D7100 or D600 because they did not want to leave their Nikon lenses, not because Nikon is making the camera that they want.  The Pentax K3 is just about everything they want in a Nikon D400, and would consider switching if Pentax had more telephoto and long zoom options.  There's room on the market for a high performance APS-C, but Pentax (or Samsung) has to carefully read who those customers are.  They want the performance of a D4, but don't want the extra weight (in body and lens) and price of a flagship 35mm.  The D600 makes too many sacrifices to meet the low price.  Thom Hogan gave a description in his blog recently of examples of possible high performance APS-C customers.
