Much more likely is the scenario that Pentax France (and Pentax US in Codiac's case) simply believe that there are upcoming releases that Pentax Japan nixes. I highly doubt that either Benji or Codiac are spreading unfounded propaganda; Pentax Japan has been known throughout it history to keep its international arms in the dark. Unless and until we hear something from Japan do these rumors mean very much, not at the fault of the messenger.
And Ben, I hope to God it isn't more than 12MP and APS-C.
