It's not in the official specs either. Ah well.Gwyn wrote:
Now I'm confused.
Pentax are supposed to be bringing out new flashes for use with IRsimple. The K-r has this so is compatible.
According to depressingreview though the K-5 doesn't? Surely Pentax will no bring out flashes which can only work with one lower model, not with their flagship model?
maybe it was just overlooked by the reviewer?Now I'm confused.

And you can already buy it for £20 from SRS already... well, deposit, their "competitive price" has yet to be announced (probably some horse-trading with Pentax EU who've undoubtably been caught-out by the Nikon price and haven't decided how much they can discount...)
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

I saw SRS had it up already. None of the Dutch shops do. I shall see what the Germans have if anything. Might be sending my 20 quid to Chris though.

And I've just had an email from SRS saying that all the new products will be on show at their Open Day on 9th oct...
hmmm. Wonder what state my bank account will be in afterwards...

Pentax official K-5 Youtube Video.
It's hilarious. I think it's actually an audition for two presenters that didn't get the job.

£1700 with 18-135 lens. Better be good for an extra £500!
Otherwise, looks like a good solid update, can't wait to get my hands on one and try it out!
