Sophisticated electronics so anything can happen between announcements and launch date.

I never use the in board flash as my lenses tend to be to big and cast a shadow in the image from the inboard flash. Now to replace that with GPs is an awesome idea.

Pentax have been marketing to the outdoor photographer and this makes more sense for their product design and marketing plans.

Most top end camera have. I flash so why shouldn't Pentax top end slr be any different?

I started with digital photography in 2001 with a Fuji mx1300 which had 1.3 megapixel. The photos now on my screen look like thumbnails! And this is the problem with digital what may seem good today may not in the future and that's before you get into file types and how they are stored.

I have some of my images backed up on jaz discs. I can't plug a jaz drive into my computer without an expensive adaptor and my jaz discs are only around 10 years old...

Always bought bodies new when the price fell to the right level and always sold on losing around £100 as I kept my bodies for approx two years then they roughly cost me a pound a week and where always covered by warranty

Having recently bought the sigma 50mm art lens it's sad that sigma won't make them lenses in Pentax mount as they are very very nice lenses and full of pixie dust magic.

I was never imagine rested with the fbest cussing speed on sigma 100-300mm f/4 hsm nikon mount lens. Even after service by sigma I was still disappointed by it.

Congratulations and well deserved.

A super set of images!

Surely photographers should be asking about lighting and times rather than gear!
