We have had no information from Ricoh to say anything is definitely coming this year, just rumours and heresay from the usual suspects who are normally totally wrong anyway.
TBH even if Ricoh said there was a new body coming this year I wouldn't believe them with the track record they have delaying what little they announce.

A Pentax E-1 maybe? It might be a little chunkier than the opposition if it keeps the K mount (I'd hope it would) Sizewise around an ME/MX but a little thicker to accommodate the sensor and rear screen.That coupled with some new PLM lenses should see it fly.
I would buy one alhough you are now getting into the land of Pentaxforums where every such thread goes on for pages and pages and is picked to pieces before dying out some 6 months later ...A Pentax E-1 maybe?

Personally I have never used pixel shift as the programmes I use don't support it. As for faster autofocus and tracking I have seen nothing that categorically proves this so I have never felt the need to "upgrade" to the MKII.
Latest purchase was a 15-30mm, trying to decide whether to keep it and sell my Sigma 12-24mm or sell the Pentax lens as I do very little photography wider than the 24-70mm.

Did you actually ask them Peter or just look at the list they buy?They are very picky it seems - not interested in DA*60-250
If they have not had a certain lens/camera in stock before its not listed as something they are interested in.

I eventually found a picture of what may be the Pentax mug but I'm unsure whether it is or isn't as it seems to be taking ages to come into focus.
The Canon mug I recognized instantly though and even when I threw the laptop over to the other side of the room it still seemed to stay in focus on the screen whereas the Pentax mug just went all blurry
I have to say though, the picture of the Pentax mug seemed a lot better quality.

OTOH, bought (expensive!) tickets for Friday as I couldn't face the weekend days traffic jams - and then obviously didn't go because we could not face all the rain on that day (not that we actually missed much as most of the flying display that day was cancelled)!
I have seen some absolutely cracking shots from Friday of the Harrier doing a vertical take off in the pouring rain with all the spray going everywhere. I would have given up all my shots on the Sunday for that one.OTOH, bought (expensive!) tickets for Friday as I couldn't face the weekend days traffic jams - and then obviously didn't go because we could not face all the rain on that day (not that we actually missed much as most of the flying display that day was cancelled)!
