I heard that Pentax is going to announce a new model on Tuesday. My source is not the most reliable I have, but it was right on a number of occasion, so I'll keep an eye open on Tuesday.

Maybe it is the K20d GPS that Chris@Srs referred to?

GWYN,
I thought the GPS was a add on
Pentaxian450 quotes a New Model:

Google K20D and GPS is built in, I stand corrected..

I understood the GPS to be built into the new K20D, which makes it a "new" model. If it is just an add-on then it has little over existing loggers, such as I have, and means you still can't get the GPS data into RAW exif.

GPS will stop some copyright theft, i e. Photographer selling a photo of say the London Eye who lives in the USA and has no pass port etc.

It is supposed to be something else, not the tracker. I don't know more than that, I wish i did know more, but...

My source is sometime right, sometime off, so I'm posting here with the hope somebody else might have heard some "whispers". It might be something like the medium format, but it might also be a point&shoot.

The sources I've seen only refer to a Pentax announcement, not a new camera. It could be anything, from a new model, the K20D GPS update, or a new lens, roadmap, or even a business announcement.

GPS won't help with the theft of copyright - it can be removed from the exif just as your own copyright info can.
