TOUGEFC · 09-18-2010, 08:31 PM

Sounds good! So far!

Kenn100D · 09-18-2010, 08:31 PM

Did you scan this brochure or photograph? This is for photokina.

Priyantha Bleeker · 09-18-2010, 08:34 PM

This is for Photokina

Frames per second is 7FPS !

Christopher M.W.T · 09-18-2010, 08:35 PM

Well Adam did drop a hint of 51,200 and someone else did drop 80 ISO.

Woah!

**Evolution** · 09-18-2010, 08:36 PM

Any mention of full manual control in video mode?

**farhagh** · 09-18-2010, 08:38 PM

So, the ISO seems the most surprise. Hoping it performs really good, as the numbers do not mean anything by themselves.
Now we should wait for the official price I guess.

Priyantha Bleeker · 09-18-2010, 08:40 PM

Yes

So everything comes together isn't it Christopher

In the brochure states the following(translated):

Burst pictures with 7 FPS. This is because a new Processor and faster AutoFocus
New AutoFocus module SAFOX IX+ for better focussing(but in the specsheet states SAFON VIII+)

**farhagh** · 09-18-2010, 08:42 PM

Hmm, btw the kit lens seems to be the same old 18-55 WR...

Priyantha Bleeker · 09-18-2010, 08:45 PM

For video mode:

Capturing Full-HD movies for max 25 minutes or 4 GB limit.
There is a connection for a external Stereo mic

Correction for the exposure for video
Digital preview and eletronic meter(for if the picture/move is straight, don't know the right English word for it

)

One source gave me 50-25,600 so well it was technically correct lol. But 51,200 is a big shock.

7-8fps range was that I was told to, so that was close.

I was given 18 focus points, but that turned out to be wrong so lol, but another one has passed me on that the new AF is a MAJOR improvement over the K-7 and a whole new module.

Im really disappointed with the lack of dual SD and the 1/80 sync speed but oh well.

It will be sold with two options

DA 18-135 mm WR
And the DA 18-55 mm WR

Good. If the new 18-135 performs even on par by 18-55 it would be a nice walkaround WR lens. As I asked at DPR do you know anything about more lenses/flashes too?

Nope till now not

I sure hope there will be some new lenses, and hopefully new flashes, but honestly I don't know.
