"Not that I'm aware of."
Some of the compacts are already made to use an Eye-Fi Card and even have an onscreen icon and controls for the card in the camera menus.
The Pentax Optio WG-1 is Fully Compatible with no problems.

The Optio W90 has had some problems for which Pentax issued a firmware fix.

All Pentax have to do to release a Wi-Fi camera is bundle it
with an Eye-Fi Card
eye-fi has licenced out thier technology and other card makers have signed on to use it.. soon the market will be flooded with affordable wi-fi sd cards.Strange....

I have the 28-70 f4 and it has the ir focusing marks for manually focussing...
also... mine is a good copy, no issues with rear lens delaminating that some have... very sharp, good lens..

in a pinch, I use any camera to get the job done...
but my love for pentax comes from years of experience, and knowing pro quality build and affordable lenses are the main reason to keep buying pentax.
I owned a ricoh body once (xrp ithink..) and it was also well built...
I buy a lot of Sony crap for video shooting... and if ricoh ever tries to get into the pro video market with k-mount glass, I'd drop Sony in a heartbeat.

I use the kr for professional work and images shot with it have been in national magazines...
I won't call the kr an "Entry level" camera... I prefer to call it an "Entry level PRICED" camera...

expect a k5 with a new sensor, dual core processor capable of higher burst rates, 4k video, and faster af.

I think eventually we'll see a dedicated video section here, the trouble is people will want to be able to include clips in thier posts and the forum does not yet have that capability.
I use a kr for pro video uses.

Don where are the rumours? There aren't any in your linked article.
Are you sure it's not just wishful thinking on your part?
Can you really see them coming with a FF EVIL in the very near future - which they would need to if they have discontinued the current top two cameras they make?
they've been posted by myself and others over the past few weeks..Don where are the rumours? There aren't any in your linked article.

there ARE rumours!
ff evil, and evil class medium format.
stands to reason that if Pentax goes ff there will be two versions... one k5 class d-slr, and one evil class to replace the kr...
my guess is Pentax won't announce anything until current stock inventories are sold off..
