Re: 5 new bodies rumours

If K7 is that good already, I wonder what K9 will offer....perhaps that's the FF body.

And a square sensor!

No more holding yr camera vertically! no more buying vertical grip!

Make better use of all the surfaces of your lenses

Start a new trend of uncropped square photos!

Looks like Pentax has started a new naming conventions. I too am hoping for a cheap entry-level (K200D ish, not KMish) CMOS based body. =)

Re: 5 new bodies rumours

and Hoya comes out with something call Hoya Transition....glass for eyewear that will self-darken or brighten according to your enviroment's ambient light. They have money for this sort of interesting development, am sure their $ power will gain pentax some leverage too. Just side track a bit.

careful... Hoya might decide to just make Pentax-brand filters and glass for specs in the future... and not lenses or bodies.

Rumours... sigh... not very interesting. Time to go check out my blog.

Re: 5 new bodies rumours

Looks like Pentax have plan to make enough trooper ship to join the star war in a big way. It is just the begin of the begining of "Empire Strike Back" and Shiro(M) just drop the game at the wrong time. Would it be better for Shiro to enjoy all the excitement and win the glory with all the Pentex's K-troper ships is ready for business?
