New Optio WG-2

This just popped up in my Facebook feed, don't think I saw another thread on it!

Hmmm... backlit CMOS. At last!

It looks like another interesting new product, many thanks for the link.

It is fantastic to see so many new products coming to market- I think Ricoh have got themselves up and running. I was sceptical because nothing was happening- now new Optios, K-01 new K lenses (including the 560mm) Q lenses- I think we''l have a couple of new DSLRs by the end of 2012.

From famine to feast!!

Tethering on the 645D and a new UK website- Ricoh are INTERESTED in taking Pentax forward.

Oh Joy

Does anyone else know what a Facebook Feed is? Sounds like an American-style bookshop & café.

I have had a Facebook account, for approx two years, but nothing ever appears on it other than a list of names asking if I want to make these people my friends, why would I, as I don’t have a clue who they are.

I do get a Email from Facebook approx every three weeks, saying you have not logged in. I wish I could Email back, and say what’s the point.

I note that most commercial and other organisations, including this Pentax User site, say follow us on Facebook, I am already viewing the relative site, so why would I want to go to Facebook ?.

Sorry a long way around re your question, but I also do not know what a Facebook feed is.: But I am sure someone will know.


Take care.

I don't even know what facebook is.

Well I do but don't have an account and try to ignore it at every opportunity.

Good film though.

Is it the librarian's equivalent of a 'Chelsea smile'... ie when you ignore their requests to keep quite one too many times, they flip out and smash an enclopedia into your maw.

I think it actually is the summary of friend's posts, and posts from pages you are following or have 'liked', or which Facebook has decided (usually incorrectly) you might like based on things you have previously 'liked'...

I followed the BIN link to see how much it was. Took me to the American web page so I naturally went to the lens link.

Imagine my surprise ... Mount Adapter K(35m m Screwmount to Bayonet) $21.95

UK Price (SRS) £64.99.

I know they went through the roof a while back but I presumed the same would be said for American stock.

Looks like a good bit of kit, I used to carry a p30 and a 28-70 and associated kit in two dry bags in a sea kayak. Might look into this as there are rumours of the paddle group getting back together

like the camera..question the one photo that looks like somebody pooped on the camera.....

yes Don i saw that too - ultimately the weather sealing on Pentax is good-
but I'm not sure it needs to be toilet proof I thought the SR on the camera bodies stood for Shake reduction rather that S**t resistant.

Tempting

It has recently received a TIPA award.

Great looking camera. I am tempted, mainly for shock resistent and waterproofing. Not that I would use it much.

However what colour?

Stormtrooper White
Darth Vader Black
or
Iron Man Red.

Personally, I think the Iron Man red looks the business.
