You hit the return key a lot faster than I did! Even though it's a different link.

Got an email from Pentax about it this morning
Sticking with my K-x though - can't afford to change

I think it will come down substantially. I think it will end up costing about the same as the K-x. Right now it's not far off the K-7.

Quite a detailed review. Compares with the Kx, and talks about the improved AF system etc.
Basically its a Kx with the annoying niggles fixed - hurrah. Pitty it won't be cost-effective to swap my Kx for one, so I'll jump straight to the K5 and keep the Kx as a second body.
Anyway, this feature could be amusing for Pentax User Meetings if it starts to spread across all their bodies :

It really does appear to be an excellent camera.
However:
It will only be here, when it appears in the shops...

I'm sure Jessops will be stocking it soon!

Is anyone else toying around with the idea of changing to this from the k7? I'll wait for the k5 specs before i decide anything.
but the k-r seems to be the k-7 with better high iso, but lacking weather sealing, and cheaper.
or perhaps i should just concentrate on taking photos, and buy a new camera in a couple of years...

Very interesting. A very high quality back screen. Dual power capability should satisfy all users. Very high fps. A back panel that looks just like my new X90, so moving from one model to another will be very consistent. The focus point indicators were inevitable.
Looks excellent and should help to take Pentax onwards and upwards with no problem.
