Its complete rubbish, and was deleted after the troll posted a poorly-faked picture. Like all bad stories, it refuses to die though!
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

Not only was the picture poorly faked, he used one from a forum member the idiot.

Indeed rubbish also for technical reasons.

The super K7 with 720P60 will never work with the 14mp sensor they use now because it doesn't have enough lane to support that throughput.

A K-X with AF points indication will not work either because the viewfinder housing is too small the fit the hardware needed for that.

The PRO-Model have some very strange options such as no AF screw-drive, Pentax will never do that and certainly not for a pro model, they will lose most of their lenses and that's why the in body SR is also a bad idea.
I've also never heard Canon selling their own sensor to the competition.

Only a couple more months to wait until we know the truth hopefully!

Sadly not. It's the weekend of my grandson's fourth birthday, his last days of freedom before starting school, and I would be ex-communicated if I went away then.

Gwyn, that's indeed far more important.
Last year I went during the week and I already found it busy so if I go I would certainly not plan it in the weekend

Enough said me thinks.

Sorry about that, jet lag is still active.
