Unbelievably − because they don't even look like they're from the same decade − the fp L and K-3 Mark III launch simultaneously. 2 absolutely polar opposite flagships, I'm interested to see how its received considering the fp L's launch.

When I ponder whom SIGMA's loyalists are... videographers aren't my first thought; albeit the original fp supporting their Cine lenses does make sense. Ricoh certainly know Pentax's audience though, with an ode to the SLR/OVF! Admirable, I hope that it's a success but as with the fp L, I'm afraid that they've priced themselves out of many people's considerations... pity.

Whilst I'm typing: it makes me dream of an SD1 H to send off the SA mount with a cheer instead of a whimper, would have been nice! A 15MP X3 APS-H sensor SLR

The SDQH is about 6 MP more than the SD Quattro, so a "Merrill" in APS-H form would probably also be about 25% more pixels than the original Merrill cameras, making it about 18 or 19 MP ...

... and exactly the same resolution as your SD1M ...
