The K3III will be a definite upgrade to my current K-70/K-7 cameras. I've the money put aside, but, as usual, I'll wait for the more responsible reviews(which will take a while). A new film camera would be interesting, but I'm curious what form it would take . I was using my Minolta a9 yesterday, which as far as I'm concerned has every feature I need. If they just rip the guts out of some digital, and leave all that you-don't-have-to -think anymore S/W, I doubt if I'd be interested. Not why I shoot film. BTW, I have the same hand size problems .
Technically there are new film cameras being offered. Kodak Has the M35 Retro in all sorts of cute colors. Lomography offers the new re-issues of the LC-A(120mm) and the LC-Wide(35mm) for around $450. I'm actually considering the LC-A. This one has an excellent glass lens, Auto Eposure, Zone Focus etc.
Really love the controls and the look of the ergonomics. Its tough to have huge hands. I hope they make a new film k mount film camera (rumors) and I would definitely go for it.

JC I have fairly large hands as well, Pentax has always seemed to fit me better than other brands.
One of the biggest advantages of the brand is the forward/backward compatibility of the K mount. Some of my favorite lenses for the K1MII are a few of the old legacy lenses from the film era, which mount up without an adaptor. Likewise newer glass (With an aperture ring) will work on my ZXM or older 35mms with the K mount. Just my thought but having a film camera with all the bells and whistles of the digital era seems inconsistent with the appeal of using film.
