| I will not comment on what the 3rd camera is, but I am pretty sure it is a k200 or k10, either way nothing special. However, more importantly we know for a fact that the other camera is new.
So here is what we know based on these pictures, larger prism, a third auto mode on the dial, new lugs, more retro styling, camera has an x-sync mode, roughly the same size as the k20d, and is a k-mount.
So here is my guess, the camera clearly is something new and not just a continuation of the pentax k-xx series. It is starting some new trends here, (retro styling, different size and there for different grip, seems to have no built in flash, more buttons and controls) so to me this screams either k-x series or ff or both. The camera has x-sync and more buttons and controls than current models so it clearly is targeted at semi pros or pros, the camera appears to have no flash which again reinforces this, the prism and mirror box are bulkier implying a larger sensor (perhaps 1.3x crop).
A lot of you guys are assuming that because the DA 35ltd is on the camera that it automatically has to be aps-c, first off the camera could easilly auto crop like nikons do, or it could be an aps-h sensor and it might work fine with that size. I am pretty sure that the camera is higher end than the k-xx series and the mirror box and prism are much bulkier, to me this implies larger sensor. |
