Can anyone speak German?

I have got a friend who does, catching her online is the question, but will still try, fingers crossed

Its all pretty much the same as earlier spec guides.

1/180th sync - yet someone who worked with Pentax claimed it was going to be higher.

New processing engine.
4 stop SR.
3 inch LCD.

Doesnt seem to be anything we werent already expecting.

Looks pretty much what has already been said.
25 mins recording time on video though.

The barcode is for the X70.Not sure of the source of this; someone having a laugh?

Hope this helps......

Why not just wait for an hour????

4pm UK time according to the German Pentax website........

I will look when I get home from work

That's no fun

So apparently the first USA retailer has it for preorder on their website at $1200 body only .. whats the betting on UK price?

• SAFOX VIII+ Autofocus System
Nine cross-type sensors, 2 wide angle sensors, and a dedicated AF assist lamp combine for fast one-shot autofocus, as well as AF tracking. From close-ups of flowers to a fast play on the court, you can rest assured that your images will be tight, sharp, and always in focus.

Does this mean that its faster locking for focus and on AF.C compared to K20D? If there is something I could really enjoy better would be having this improved compared to the K20D. I can see that it has more FPS which is fantastic, but the focusing for me personally would be top

it is still possible that the camera can lock up the shutter at a slower shutter speed, and stop down the iris, usinf the lens aperture as a leaf stop shutter... with having the ability, to adjust the aperture while rcording video, it wouldn't be a stretch to make the leaf shuuer function work with flash......of course you'd want an easy acces button on the body to make that work.. sort of a new symbol that shows both the traditional focal plane shutter and an open leaf shutter....wonder whar that'd look like...

leaf shutter function with all NEW lense.....flash sync at all speeds....

£1100 my bet.
