Nope, that is why I did say it 'looks like it is' and that I may be proven wrong when it comes to my assumptions. The silver version looks a bit cheap on screen. I do realize it may turn out to be fantastic. Ricoh should've commissioned pixel shift product photos

Size? You can rarely minify something without sacrifice

That would be very, very cool.

Good to know, cheers Regardless of whether I'm personally excited for something, it's always good seeing Pentax release stuff. Keeps the company rolling.

Unfortunately no. I am out of the country until the 20th. Maybe they will have another event a bit later.

I'll be rather disappointed if this is, in fact, the APS-C flagship. I tend to reserve judgment until more information is available but so far it comes across as more of KS style premium' line then the K3 one.

Two things I do like, is the size. and the overall aesthetic.

Few things I dislike:
- one too many dials; I don't use the extra one on the K1; I just don't have any need for it; most of those functions can be very easily accessed via other means - it's seems like an even worse idea on a smaller camera.
- it cost us the top lcd; which is almost inexcusable in my eyes, at least at that price point;
- the price - overpriced by Pentax standards ?
- the materials and built quality/feel looks more like the KS2 and it's the most plastic feeling Pentax dslr since K100D (granted, the little thing was/is indestructible), I am just picky with how things feel to touch

I think Ricoh would be taking a not insignificant risk designating it as the K3 line successor but we still don't really know much about high iso and af performance.

Had to take another look Can't help anticipating a train coming out of that fog.

On couple of occasions I clicked on Preview instead of add then wondered haha. Just a thought? The comment system is identical for both the forums and the gallery section so I can only imagine it's 'serviced' by the same code. Either way, worth keeping an eye on should it happen again.

Ha it does look like it a bit, mixed with the Pentax MZ-50 as someone pointed out on another forum.

I seem to be getting your comments with no issues and have no problems with mine that I am aware of.

It looks really good to me, a nice melange of modern and retro. Hopefully it's actually metal not plastic. That said, it looks very 'skinny' - more like a mirrorless?

Very, very nice.
