When Adam says something like:
Quote: We have received the following information regarding the K-r:
you can be assured that this is an official unofficial leak - if you get my drift. Adam is not going to jeopardize PentaxForums by putting his personal stamp on anything that is questionable. All this leak sympathy for a company(hoya) that is manipulating us to create more buzz seems misplaced, but its your emotion, not mine.
The second indicator this is an official sort of leak is the trite nature of it, although i do like the flexibility of being able to use different batteries.
2 features i care more about is a plug-in for a shutter cable and adjustable focus for up to 10 AF lenses. The latter seems like a zero cost addition since Pentax has had the programming since K20, so why not make our cameras easier to use and easier to keep out of the repair shop. I would think that kind of feature would score points with reviewers.
With my Canon PS, it irritated me to realize that the mfr needlessly crippled some features to encourage folks to upgrade. Pentax on the other hand, has had a reputation of value for the money, and pointless crippling of features is something they would be better off avoiding, IMO.
