Now they have a very strong machine on the market already and can afford to keep back their secrets for longer as to not tip off their competitors, great move! My guess is we will see prototype this Photokina.

There is no Photokina this year, it happens once every two years. The next one is September 2008. I suspect that we shall see updates to the K100D & K10D before then, probably at the end of this year.

The anticpated pro-grade (non 645D) body may be announced at Photokina 2008 as the sensor size broohaha may be settled by then (maybe!).
