According to Pentax Russia, the rumored Pentax full frame DSLR camera will be announced in 2014, and the 645D successor medium format camera will be later.
A recent interview from Pentax-club.ru:
- Pentax Full Frame DSLR will be next year. Not later than Photokina 2014. Maybe, on spring or summer, 2014.
- New DFA lenses will be offered. New 2.8 zooms will be made.
- New Limited Zoom will be real.
- New WR lenses will be launched.
- K-01 is failed because of design. Mirrorless cameras – Ricoh will offer something new.
- New 645D will be later. It will be different from 645D. It was plans to launch 645D II this year, but the situation is changed.
- SMC DA LIMITED are discontinued.
- Ricoh will announce a new LX full frame retro-styled camera (something similar to the Nikon DF).

I will be interested to see what Pentax comes up with as far as features go with the new 645D II. I think it needs better ISO performance and faster display on the LCD.
