I think some are mixing the K-5 for the K-r

* Overall, the key position resembles K7, but not waterproof, plastic material
K5 for the Pentax K200D upgrade, just as K7 is the K20D upgrade, Kx Km as succession. In theory, K5, if issued, will be the best entry SLR work, and its price will be very affordable (after all, 1200 ......

Also noticed in the photo the camera strap is slightly different to the one supplied with the K-7.

It's red with white lettering.

It's a K-7, I even know who took that photo (one of my buddy friends

).

This is the one with a retractable telescopic tripod? And winmo OS so you can retouch using MS Paint?

Christopher:

That is awesome. I like the pee break feature, but I'm waiting for the rotating LCD...

I don’t see a red strap in the photos, but that means almost nothing as those straps for pentax are quite common.

If the K-5 and the K-7 have the same body then there would be no reason to darken the picture to hide the back of the body. See the back of the body would prove nothing. It is a fake and they darkened the picture to provide a little mystery.

I agree a camera strap proves nothing. I believe Pentax has shipped 2 different straps with the K-7 that I know of and I would not be surprised to see more.

Does it really matter if that is the rumored K-5? If it is or isn't nothing changes.

Hiya!
Sorry for confusing you guys,
This pic was made for kidding...My bad

But the new plagship K-5 is really coming sooooon,trust me.
With higher pixel,
Snoy CMOS,
HD movies,
at least 2 new lens,
(Let us ask why DA*30 suspended?)

Just wait and see

Victor - you naughty boy!

No problem really, just a good prank. People (including me) are so eagerly waiting for the new cameras that soon we'll be reading tea leaves for signs of the camera properties.

WerTicus · 08-06-2010, 10:42 AM

lol this is fun, even if retarded :P

lurchlarson · 08-06-2010, 11:24 AM

I just want the SR switch back...I don't like that it's in the menus

glanglois · 08-06-2010, 02:01 PM

I'll second that. Checking that setting by feel was a good habit on my K-10D.

Hey Vic, didn't expect you'd visit here too

Let's bet who gets the K5 first?
