...and where is 60-250*?

I have no idea about DA*60-250 F4. :-)

...and where is 60-250*?

My guess... pushed back to mid-year...

...and where is 60-250*?

Not to mention hoped-for lenses which hadn't been previously announced.

I'm still praying for a weather-sealed normal prime. Say, SMC Pentax DA★ 35mm F1.7 ED AL [IF] SDM.

Give or take 5mm and half a stop -- I'm not picky! And if they want to make it DFA★ Limited, that's fine with me too.

Thanks a lot for this finding!

Besides the lens info, it is worth noting that the link gives full size images of the pamphlet, including the very first, actual image of the K20D (to my knowledge at least):

Good point. Looks exactly like the K10D, except the texturing on the mode dial is different and there's a small round protrusion on the right side where the K10D has a flat door for the cable release/power/PC connections. Wonder what that is.

And of course there's the groovy black shutter release.

It seems that it will use same grip as k10d, which is great.

They look both sexy and if price for k200d is good I will buy is as backup body ...

I wonder what happened to 60-240mm lens I was hoping to have it before christmas but now it looks like christmas 2008

It is the standard flash socket to use external/studio flashes.

I believe the photos are from a printed invitation to attend the press meeting.

It's now 00:01 Jan 24th Japan time.
Can the NDA persons please tell us what's so special about the K20D "bomb"

[Biekat]

Pamphlet = libellous !

[Peter Zack]

I agree Feronvak. Lets hope the grip is interchangeable. Looking at the pictures of the K200D further down would suggest they should keep the K10D in the line for some time to come. Hope they do.
