Originally posted by kevinschoenmakers It appears Pentax got lazy and photoshopped old K-7 photos to look like K-5 photos. I would call bullshit, but the same bad photoshop also appeared on a ad on a taxi, so who knows.
Compare the following pictures that leaked today, and the ones that came out of the K-7 presskit. The mode-button is different, but all the other buttons are in the same setting, and all the shadows and highlights are the same.
I guess you're suggesting that the K-5 pamphlet used a photoshopped image of a K-7, the same one that is up on dpreview?
Which clearly isn't the case. They're very similar, but that would be because they're basically the same body. But there are subtle differences in the two pics that suggest, at the very least, the K-5 shot is *not* a photoshopped version of the K-7 shot.
E.g, with the top views, look at the gap in front of the popup flash unit--much wider on the K-5. Look at the amount of metal of the strap lug sticking out on the K-7 (right next to the "K-7" logo). On the K-5 it's not sticking out as much. These two points suggest that the K-5 image was taken ever so slightly from a different angle than the K-7 shot.
Also, reflected light around the AE-L button and the front dial is different (more reflecting off the K-5 than K-7).
