I found different one, showing more of the back of the camera. It was on an Asian site. It was blurred like the one you are showing. When I tried to copy the address, I got an error code.

but the last one...... judging from recent trends in the market I must admit Pentax would risk falling "behind" if they didn't give it some sort of movie mode so that is my bet. Personally I'd rather the camera just did stills better than anything else in its price range, but it's clearly a feature which a lot of people want and Pentax must produce the features people want or risk losing market share.

There also seems to be an extra button in the centre of the dial.
Someone also thought the strap lugs were old fashioned rings.

My 2 pence worth, It's similar to the X70 with interchangeable Pentax lenses, any bets anyone?

The flatter front together with the narrower left side does look something like this one which was shown back in 2007. Maybe the designed is inspired a little from this special camera which looks absolutely great to me...

yes it is, looks like quite a different shape maybe a bit smaller than the k10/20, really looking forward to know the specification.
