Pentax Full Frame Camera Coming, But Not Anytime Soon

October 11, 2012 By Eric Reagan

A recent interview with Pentax Japan’s development chief confirms that Pentax is working on a full frame camera; however, it won’t be hitting shelves until 2014 at the earliest.

The relevant, translated quote from the interview is:

We are working on it [the FF camera] as a product proposal, so it will, without doubt, be released.we are developing with an eye to a post-2013 release

While it is encouraging to hear Pentax has plans to make a full frame DSLR a reality, another 2-year wait is still a tough pill to swallow for the Pentax-faithful who have been waiting patiently thus far.

Are you a Pentax shooter?
