Wonder if they will give the DA*'s the HD treatment too?

Anyway, nice to see they have been concentrating on the important stuff rather than on something frivolous like a WR teleconverter or 100-400mm lens.

I don't mind, anyway they will probably double the prices of the lenses once done.Now you're "old hat", "green ring" Ltd's are worth fifty pence!

No doubt they will not be cheaper Mike!
Well it's at least something?
I'm curious to see if any of the Lenses on the Road Map ever make the light of day as I'd be very interested in that 120ish-380ish Zoom but only if they weather seal it...
Just popped over the Yankee Doodle site and their thread is onto five pages already, and guess what, the Sky has fallen in, Oh yeah... Got to love em.

Well one of them at least still says Pentax on it
Still it's not confirmed and any good photoshopper can turn a green ring red?
Anyway saw it and thought to inform...

Don't buy that John, even though it may be the case, I'd like to see something with very good image quality but still small and light, so maybe a bigger Q then, it doesn't need to be APSC but I'd like full functionality with all the APSC Glass, whether by adaptor or built in. So could they get all the gubbins in? (K mount,SR,Screwdrive AF, register distance to work, Or would it end up with a ruddy great Mount in front of a tiny camera again?
Ideally I'd like a Pentax style Nex or Olympus Pen but done Pentax style, now a bigger "Q", I'd like that a lot...

Not confirmed but all the rumour mungers (Me included) think so.

To be honest, I have never understood why Hoya/Pentax never stood up the Auto 110 Brand again, Ricoh could AF all those basic designs and have a whole system, There must be a reason why not, maybe they Never joined M4/3?
Just thinking out loud...

I notice on eBay, there is quite a few available internationally too, if the price was right and the postage was cheap you may get away without paying any tax???
Noted, but seems a touch on the expensive side?

Well being the owner of both a K7 and a K5ii. Unless you are in a low light situation. For all the bells and whistles the K5ii comes with. The K7 compares very favourably in picture Quality. A robust unit, that you could take to a war zone. We all know that above 800 ISO the K7 is absolutely useless but for me this is its only drawback. I often take both cameras out with me. Quite often Im surprised that the best image for the day comes from the K7. Its easy for people to crave and purchase the latest models. I agree that if someone was on a limited budget coming into photography. They could do worse than getting hold of a K7. At the current giveaway prices..
I always preferred the images I got out of the K7 at low ISO to the ones from my K5's, just something about the files, I could never quite put my Finger on it or reproduce it with anything else I tried, I expect the K20 was similar? I notice SRS have a K7 on the bay...Well being the owner of both a K7 and a K5ii. Unless you are in a low light situation. For all the bells and whistles the K5ii comes with.
