Yeah, it's a DSLR. Yeah, it's big. But... Pentax cameras have features which make them worth buying over DSLRs by Sony, Nikon and Canon. The astro tracer feature alone is worth the investment. And many Pentax lenses are still cheap. For now, anyway.

And APS-C is the sweet spot for image quality, resolution and price. 26Mpx might not sound like a lot, but a 26Mpx monochrome sensor is equivalent to a 40Mpx Bayer sensor. That's a LOT.

I'm way past DSLRs. However, Pentax is tempting me.
