Firstly and perhaps you guys are going to tell me that this isn't a reason to upgrade, autofocus speed and shutter lag. I have a two year old he moves quickly and the bridge often lets me down when doing a bit of candid photography with him as he moves too fast for the camera, and although you do have manual control of shutter speed on the bridge it is within auto balanced limits of the lens and a fast shutter doesn't really help if the autofocus and tracking can't keep up.
I've always wanted a bulb mode for photographing the night sky.
I am a bit disappointed but not surprised that no-one else has acknowledged that Pentax still leave a little to be desired in terms of auto-focus speed and focus tracking though.
My K5 is a bit hit-and-miss tracking large objects (trains!) moving steadily through the frame.

In sunny conditions it 'really sings' and I am only discouraged from using it if I think the extra reach of the 55-300 is going to come in useful.

...then create a 'New Topic' for your announcement.
Then you could tell us what kit you use, what you like to photograph, or just say hello.

The Pentax K-m was known as the K2000 in the USA.
Was it was targetted at the turn of the century when the 'm' was going to be 'millenium'. Presumably shortened to 'm' as it missed its' target release date?
I'll get me coat!
My inside information tells me that it will be know as the Pentax Millenium...
However as the K1000 has left such a legacy, the new FF may alternately be known as the K-2000.

Take no notice Chris He tried selling it on here for £499 and then complained about people kicking his tyres

The prices seem to have taken a hike up now though - K3 II + 16-85 up from £949 to £1099. End of promotion on the 'kit' lens?
