Pentax mirrorless camera revealed in leaked photo?

**rparmar** · 05-20-2011, 05:51 AM

When a photo gets leaked, does it automatically get grainy and low-res too? Or is the fact the photo looks like crap a way of playing into a certain confusion over the whole idea of a "leak". Like: we are unsure about the information so by analogy the photo must be unsure about its contents?

Obviously a very bad hoax.

It is intended to enhance credibility. That grainy, low-res, surveillance look is an undocumented scene mode called the GISS or MI-6 mode. Not everyone knows that. It's supposed to be a secret ....
