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.

For my low light gig photography. It will produce far less noise in images .
But will it?
The pixels will be about the same size as on a 16 MP APS-C, so similar to the K5 series I would have thought.

Maybe Ricoh could rename the Ricoh Arena to the Pentax Arena?

In the light of this negative publicity about the Ricoh Arena, perhaps that would not be a good move?

A K5iis flashed on and off again as it passed through a store on Wednesday.

Oh dear.
Perhaps I should have said 'field-of-view' instead of 'perspective'.

The main thing that I wanted to convey, was that a lens's focal length remains the same, regardless of sensor size.

I would try to explain it like this:

A 300mm film/full-frame lens on an APS-C digital body will give the same perspective as a 450mm lens on a full frame body.

As Johan explained, the angle-of-view is narrower on APS-C than on 35mm/full-frame, giving a cropped view and the illusion of being closer to the subject.

The focal length is constant (as it is a physical characteristic of the lens).

There is another steamer going from Bristol to Par, which if you are positioned north of Newton Abbot you will see as well.

Langstone Rock near Dawlish Warren or one of the stone piers on the sea-front at Dawlish would be my pick.

Why not fill in one of these if your burning question still has a few glowing embers?

At just under £380, not as good as the deal a short while back for the K5 iis.
