Samsung have just announce the GX-10 - looks remarkably similar to the K10D
(Including weather seals, shake reduction etc).

ePhotozine have a hands on preview:

I still want/need/desire one

Matt

Just wait - it is exciting
Not long...

While I'm at it:
http://blogs.shintak.info/archive/2006/09/03/29003.aspx

Babelfish translation:
* Image element of 1020 ten thousand pixel PAS-C size
* Hardware hand wobble revision (CCD shift system)
* Dust reduction function
* 3 scenes/connected copying function of second
* RAW+JPG record is possible
* SDHC corresponding SD memory card slot
* Lithium ion battery or single 3 electric batteries
* Full metal body of dustproof drip-proof
* It corresponds to the ultrasonic motor with the KAF lens mount
* Interchangeable focusing screen
* Finder of pentaprism
* 11 point side spurs AF
* $849

That "3 electric batteries" is odd. If they've used 3x AA then it'll be lighter, but it'll give probs with the travel chargers which charge 2 or 4 cells.

RAW+JPG is also a very welcome addition

and this: http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=102992&forum_id=80
Which says 3.3 frames per second JPG up the capacity of the card

Still digging...

Of course, it could all be here say (or is that heresy!)

Matt

The details are expected on the 14th... so only have to wait until Thursday to find out for sure

Daniel - yes, the unlimited frame buffer would be rather nice, but for me the extended dynamic range and adjustment is just, so, so, so welcome

Could be a while before it hits the streets though, and maybe a little longer until Phase One get C1 sorted to support it properly

But, like George, I'm queuing up for one Shall soon be ebaying a load of bits to help finance it

For those electronically minded, the NuCore PDFs are here:

Just hope this isn't pure speculation... it's sounding almost too good to be true
Matt

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

This is exactly the feature I was after
22-bit ADC with 16-bit output - cowabunga!

To be honest I didn't even need any more pixels, but with anit-shake, higher (and adjustable) dynamic range, dust removal, and weather sealed body... I just need to get my sticky fingers on one

Many thanks for the heads-up Gwyn - that's made my Monday morning!
Matt

Urgh

That's 100Mp per square inch
Matt

It is quite possible you may get a replacement. However, whatever happens you'll probably acquire them over time even with the replacement.

My 3 year old *ist-D now has probably ten or so pixels. It had none when I bought it. More show up when using long exposures, and/or using higher ISO settings. Fortunately I shoot in RAW and Capture One LE usally automatically removes them all - so I never have to worry too much.

However, when using JPG you are stuck with them (excuse the pun) and end up having to use the healing brush (in Photoshop CS or Elements 3).

Sorry if that's not much help!
Matt

Well that's quite a useful way of knowing if I'm logged out then
(i.e. set preference to subRed)
