Would go lovely on the K-S1 and should have from release!
They arn't very good at the joined up stuff are they?

Not yet but it's in a glass case and just a "Reference Product" So I can't see it coming out of there this week either but you never know?
Probably for the Japanese CP+ show in Febuary though?

Pentax Nomenclature, never sure, on the lens front, DA L= DA Light? As opposed to D AL which means it's aspherical? So it's likely got a plastic mount then? That kind of spoils the party for me a bit...

Good catch, should have used that un as a way to appease the Pentax Police

Love this from the updated Spec:
Decorative LED rings (toned down compared to the K-S1

Richard, I think it swivels like this un here, knowing the Asian Photographic industry very exactly!
The Pentax will however be properly sealed...

Apologies for the pic, just for reference!
I feel soiled just for downloading it!

Wish I had £250, I'd have yer arm off Mark!
Wonder what Mums go for this time of year?

It's easier to leave the GPS on in my business, I get about a bit when I am hiking and you would not believe the emails I get when I put up a piccie on my site saying it was taken at point A and I get a dozen emails saying it was taken at point B which in a small place like the UK Lake district is only about 50m away!
On my panaramio account I get suggestions for re-naming shots all the time because the location is about ten yards off, so they think, so I geo-tag every one to shut the pedantic buggers up!

With Wifi on and you set up a connect in the field and are obviously shooting live view (Fuji X-T1) via a tablet or smart phone, then transferring back to the aforementioned, the battery can drain in as little as half an hr!

Pretty good looking stand, the word stand doesn't really do it justice...

Screen could be good, will be looking at this one closely for my second body and may skip any next gen K3 if there even is one? I love my K3 to bits, for me it's near perfect but if I can have wifi and a tilt screen in built, I can see me putting that to a lot of use, sensor dependant of course...
They will only mess with the K3, in the Mk II and just add more Blah in any case, there due an advanced body F@#* up and I see this one limping towards me as I speak... (Joke alert!)
Had the Sony A77 and the GPS sucked the battery down by about an extra third during a days shooting, the Fuji X-T1 I had would last for 120 shots with wifi turned on and about half a days shooting (200+) when it wasn't, both wifi and GPS seem to consume more battery in camera than they really ought to, To get the same battey life as the K3 I had to go into the field, for the weekend with an X-T1 and five batteries to the K3's one, the cost of basically shooting in live view 100% of the time, at least with an OVF Pentax you get a choice here...

WR has been mentioned but I have seen nothing confirmed, there is an SR badge on that prototype, so I think you are safe there!

Also I have heard from the well known "Asahi Man" this A.M.
He thinks from now on all budget lenses will be DC, and no more screw drive only at all, basically like everyone else allowing them to, save a little bit of cash in manufacturing, of both lenses and lower end bodies, had to come really?
Star Glass, if thats still the name, will still be dual drive but no word on whether it will be SDM or DC...

SMC does now seem to be the nom de plume for standard glass, bit sad that really, HD for higher end and SMC for lower, they have the coating tech so they may as well use it I guess...
