Pentax K-5 Mark II Coming

Yesterday, an anonymous visitor from Germany made a post on our forum about what sorts of announcements we can expect at Photokina, a photo trade show which we will officially be covering during the week of September 17th.  We also received an e-mail message from this person with details on something of great interest: an upcoming Pentax K-5 Mark II.

This new camera, he states, will replace the recently-discontinued Pentax K-5 (still available new for $879 at retailers).

Pentax K-5 Mark II specifications:

  • Same body, sensor, and image processor as the K-5
  • Overhauled SAFOX X AF system
    with better accuracy and EV range than the previous generation
  • Improved firmware features

We will confirm whether or not this rumor is true once we arrive at the Photokina show.  Stay tuned!  You may read the remainder of this rumor in the post linked above.
