Smartcamera, too bad he missed the obvious link with Samsung, they are the only company in the list I believe that make smartphones and cameras. It might not be so strange if they would make the jump to a hybrid.
Or that they will put Android OS on cameras, they are already putting it in tellies.
He made a very good point that Canon isn't dong so very well, they have some catching up to do next year. With Nikon (Pentax) and Sony video cameras.
The question is if Pentax would made an EVIL how would it look like... I doubt they will made a special lens line for it... maybe they will make an EVIL video camera, something like Sony has but still slightly more geared to photo so that it's a better hybrid? That would certainly be a surprise and probably make Don very happy.
I swear... they take the kx, yank out the mirror box, add a pelicile mirror, add a huge heatsink to the sensor, add an articulated lcd (optional really) and I'm happy.....Smartcamera, too bad he missed the obvious link with Samsung, they are the only company in the list I believe that make smartphones and cameras.

I sure as hell hope Pentax has a video capable 645-d mk II coming down the pipelines....

I'd be all over that like Homer Simpson on a donut.

Distinctive style... right around the time you realize you got one... it's time to change it, or you'll be out of style.

Something that doesn't often get mentioned is that Pentax have chosen AVI as a video format, whereas most other brands use AVCHD. This is good news if your PC isn't a great performer, I gather. I was told my £200 refurb PC wouldn't cut it and I'd have to get a higher performance machine but no, it's fine.

Now you can video yourself eating your words I seem to recal saying "who wants video" when the K7 came out, I had a play with my K5 last night and have already ordered a 16gig class10 card to get me started

bad news: bigger files, and faster memory cards required...
good news: if you are chroma keying, the avi format and hdv format both key better than avchd....
avchd also is like saving a file in a highly compressed jpeg versus a tiff... when it comes to color... you have more to work in post...
