K-3 speculation

Pentax really should throw their loyal clients a bone every now and then to prevent such BS from becoming endemic in the community.

I'll second that

Preferably with a bit of meat on it.

Now RH posted a rumor that the FF won't have a K-mount. No way!

Stop taking RH seriously.
Just stop. With his track record, you might as well use a dice to predict the future.

I don't.. specially after this week. (btw.. the first smiley was suppose to be roll eyes)

Yepp, K5 is damn sexy!

Sooner or later RH is going to be right for once... Might be this one. (Where's the grinning devil smiley?)

Just like a stopped clock is right twice a day too, if only for a second

So would you like a FF-camera with a new mount or a K-mount APS-H camera?

Exactly! Just like all the dooms-day preachers that predict the end of the world are going to be right some day. LOL!

A new article on RH's blog: "New Firmware for Pentax Q"
Confirmed, a link to Pentax Japan website was provided (Latest PENTAX Q Firmware Update : Software Downloads | PENTAX RICOH IMAGING)

He was right once; we can safely assume everything else is fake

Yeah that little groundhog sure didn't do a very good job this year, did he? This is the freakin tropics. It's nearly the end of March. I'm usually complaining and sweating and running the AC almost daily by now. It's been freaking FREEZING the past few days, almost literally. It's been in the 40's every night for a week and it's barely cracking 75 most days. We're supposed to see 82 during the day next week though. I have a feeling it's going to be one big BIATCH of a Summer. This winter was cold for here, and it lasted into Spring. That does not happen often and it usually means an even more brutal Summer is on the way. I like it about 60 all the time. 40's gets me aching, but then so does anything above 80's. I'm kind of enjoying the colder weather lasting this long, but I'm dreading Summer...

Well.. Tuesday at 6:00pm PT RHs counter clicks to zero...

Kunzite · 04-15-2013, 11:43 PM

I hope you're not expecting a K-3 then. If you do, don't blame Pentax for what will happen

Tesla · 04-15-2013, 11:45 PM

I'm not expecting anything.. but we'll see.
