Funny that, on the ePHOTOzine's preview, it says Pentax on both sides.

If you actually read that review is says:

the back of the K-3 (on the right) will say RICOH on the final production version

Apparently the pre production models had Pentax on the back so that they didn't arouse suspicion when testers were using them "out in the wild".

They obviously thought other Pentax users would notice the Ricoh badge but with Pentax on it the camera looks very much like a K-5.

Little do they know every Pentax user gets really excited when they see another (as we are so rare) and will probably take photographic evidence and go over to talk to them anyway.
