Now is agood time to be selling any kind of Pentax film camera. Students still use this stuff in colleges and the new term will start in a few weeks. The older mf bodies still command surprising prices.

I thought I would buy some full frame glass before Pentax stopped making it completely. Park Cameras said 2 weeks ago they thought the lens had been discontinued, but it still showed on Pentax website. I placed a speculative order with them anyway. They called to say the lens is in today : )
The Samsung version is also listed on the Park Cameras website, but is more expensive.

With memory card density increasing at least as fast as sensor density, wouldn't this be a bit superfluous too? Building space into the body for two cards, together with the electronics to handle them as you say, seems completely pointless given how easy it is to change the card.Two SD slots would amake better sense if the second one took over once the first was full, doubling the number of shots that could be recorded.

There is much speculation about an 18mp ful frame Sony sensor coming in the Autumn. It must surely might make its way into a Pentax at some point. The price might not be right though - and this might steal 645D sales (if this camera is ever produced).

I agree - it looks as though the lcd and/or camera has been squashed.

I hace not heard of them, although the website looks good. I would be wary of signing away copyright.

I hope that Dixons selling the K10D is a result of Hoya's firepower and a statement of intent by Pentax.
One slightly disturbing point in the document is the lack of the words "core business" in relation to cameras. The language is different to that used elsewhere in relation to medical imaging for example.
