Reasonable point about workflow there.There's new announcements mid October by Pentax for new cameras so we'll see. My bet is yes, but honestly, I don't want 24 MP (not that I am buying a new camera, I am sticking to the K-5). While I can understand 24 MP on one end starts giving medium format class prints to an extent (or the low end of that), to me it would be just a workflow clog.
Honestly, I think I would be fine with 12 MP. 12 MP of Foveon type data would be great to me. Even 8-9 MP of those.
I just see the 24 MP as a workflow clog, and it demands better lenses to really use the data even if it delivers a bit more with the current lenses.
Just my personal opinion though.

But we should wait to see if the higher pixel density will compromise image quality, particularly at high sensitivities—if a new Pentax sporting that sensor is inferior to the present K-5 in low light, then I would plump for the K-5.
And hope that its price had gone down!
