It looks a lot smaller that the K20. I do hope so. I may well be tempted by this beauty if it is. I'll swap in my K20d for it if I can, and if the specs are right of course.

If it's smaller than the K20 then I think I'll pass. I love the size and weight especially with the grip.

There is another picture on "skydrive.live.com", but I can't bring it in. For those inclined to search, the image is:IMG_0153_ps_up.

Yves - I've looked at the Google link for those images:

Looks like it still has an eye viewfinder - but looking at the squarer shape of the flash unit, I wonder what on earth they done with the pentaprism! Assuming that Pentax haven't gone the EVF route, I wonder if they've come up with some nifty replacement for the pentaprism
Certainly with an EVF you could fit it in those dimensions...

Atleast it looks more square then the normall prisma.

The way the strap has to be attached to the body is the same as for the old camera's like the Spotmatic for example.
