Why put a white balance icon on the front?

I couldn't find anything about it on the Japanese website and also the icon on the right side of the camera is suspicious. So good joke, took a minute or two before getting it

She didn't mind though as I kept her company when you were away.

Har...har...hardy...harhar...*sigh* if only. However, this was a good one. My heart skipped a beat for a second and then I realized what day it was.

If Pentax really want to know what a stir in the market a FF Pentax would make , they would only have to Google (Pentax K-3) and see the interest for them selves!

Happy Aprils fool !

Regrettably I didn't even bat an eyelash when I saw this. I KNEW it had to be a joke. What does that say about Pentax?

A good April Fool's joke is Google's 8-bit Maps for the NES (along with Street Roo and Multitask Chrome).

A good joke is Adblock being turned into Catblock.

A good joke, this was not.

The thing that doesn't make this funny is the fact that the specs are probably what a FF Pentax would look like. Had it been 45mp, 2,000,000 AF points etc the exageration might have had a comic effect.

Ah well.

well this was mean....
i was suspicious at the thought it could be exactly the same as the k-5 silver even though it would need much more space for the sensor.
and the three doesn't really look real

I do feel like a fool, I posted this on the DPreview Pentax Talk forum. It is bitter sweet humour indeed.

This 'news' is also on Facebook where people are having a laugh at our expense. What bizarre mind thought this would actually be funny, let alone helpful? Inviting ridicule isn't exactly doing the brand any good either. Boring! try again while the day is young. We've still got 3:42 left here in OZ before Monday rolls along.

PS: I do have a sense of humor, it's just that I am in agony from doing my back cleaning out the garage yesterday. It'd have to be a pretty funny joke to make me laugh right now because it hurts when I do.
