Don't Sony have a specified lead time for other manufacturers to use their sensors ? And Nikon have a jump on everyone else ?
I thought it was Nikon could incorporate their new sensors 6 months after Sony introduce them in a model, followed by everyone else (inc. Pentax) another 6 months later ?

IMHO they have dropped a clanger calling the new model K-5 II.
It won't help the dealers to profitably sell remaining stocks
of the K-5.... People will want the newer model and walk out
if the shop haven't got it. Had they called it the K-4 or K-3
the buyer would have made a choice.
Older models often hang around for month's.... K-R's are
still available..... Now the old K-5's are going to have
to be dumped, which isn't in either the dealers or Pentax's
interest. It will also hit K-30 sales.

A western view, perhaps. I doubt the 'Q' was a let down for PENTAX for asian markets - else they'd not follow it up with a new model and lens. Not to mention a greater line-up of colour options.

I think Pentax will announce another model up from the k5II sooner than people think..
the k30 didn't get held for photokina, photokina is not the center of the universe... just because it didn't get announced today... doesn't meant it won't be announced by Christmas...
The K-5 II is the flagship model so unlikely that anything better will be released this year.I think Pentax will announce another model up from the k5II sooner than people think..

that it is. It doesn't collapse though. The hood slides
back and the lens is about 520mm long.
The old 'A' 600mm f/5.6 was only 386mm long
