Latest from the rumour mill......

Yet more rumours

No DA 15 Limited Pancake
No DA*30
K300D and K30D announced on 23rd and 30 January.

Don't shoot me, I'm only the messenger.

Any rumours on the differences between K20D and K30D?

I suspect GPS as one of the features because there were allready rumours about a K20D Mk-II with an added GPS receiver.

Higher resolution APS-C? I don't know if there is allready a higher res CMOS in this size.

No specifics yet.
Not sure how reliable the rumours are, so take them with a huge pinch of salt.

I just bought K20D so maybe I even shouldn't read anything about the new one

Michal, that always happens! Just after I got my K20D the price dropped dramatically, and the rumours began. But if you always wait for the next best thing you never buy a camera and miss out on so much fun. Enjoy your K20D and don't worry to much about the next model.

Console yourself with the thought that the K30D will be horrendously expensive for the first few months at least. It's always good economically to be one model behind!

I skipped the k20 entirely.
hoping the next big thing from Pentax will be worth upgrading from the k10's....

I know In a matter of fact I planned to buy a K10D a year ago, but then I had unexpected expenses and then K20D appeared.

But it's all the same with computers. I don't buy latest / newest accessories knowing that after half of a year they will be much cheaper

I did the same with the K10D. I had a *ist-DS and I was temped to get a K10D but I waited a little and got a K20D instead.
With most technologies I skip a generation before considering buying a new one.

The same goes for computers, I skip a complete processor generation before buying a new computer (mostly about every 4 years)

misiek_knm,

in your signature, it says you have a DA16-54. Is it the long awaited f:.90?

What's 4mm between friends?

Since there isnt a * it would be 9mm and that's a lot

About the rumours we are still waiting for the DA* 55, DA* 60-250 and the ringflash that should come this month.
The KxxD where always the first to be replaced and if we look at the spacing between the current models it would be the end of this year it would come out.
I would be more then glad though to see a K30D this month since I was planning to buy one begin next year the price would have dropped quite a bit

Monty Python mode on No, it doesn't

I think I should be more careful when typing in numbers...
