tra la la, la la! I work at the local airport and see/meet celebrities all the time. Today, it was someone in a light blue polo with R-I-C-O-H on the front. The conversation went like this:

Me:

Didn't you guy's just takeover Pentax?

Ricoh Employee(R.E.):

Yes.

Me:

Is there a new model above the K-5 coming, knida/sorta?

R.E.:

Hesitates..Yes.

Me:

Soon?

R.E.

Don't buy anything in the next few months

Me:

Swivel screen?

R.E.

Yes.

Me:

Sony 24MP Sensor?

R.E.

Hesitates...Yes.

If I'm lying, I'll give my '5 away. I didn't think to ask about lenses. I'm not sure why he disappeared so quickly.

I will hunt you down if this does not come true.

Adam · 11-18-2011, 02:49 PM

Post pics or it didn't happen!

RonHendriks1966 · 11-18-2011, 02:55 PM

Well I have no plans on buying anything before spring, so that would be good.

Spag · 11-18-2011, 03:03 PM

Now the question is, was he talking about the Sony A77 (APS-C) or A900 (FF) sensor?

Ubuntu_user · 11-18-2011, 03:43 PM

We've all known that it's coming...

Well, there go our hopes of better marketing if Ricoh employees are telling people not to buy anything.

Exciting news otherwise, though!

feishui · 11-18-2011, 07:36 PM

I am surprised that you didn't ask about FF...I thought everybody will ask this question, just as what we saw from this board

Next few months. Got the message. Thank You!

Isn't there a "No Violence" agreement required for registration?

tabl10s · 11-19-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm new to this digital thing and the question didn't come to mind.

Emacs · 11-19-2011, 02:58 AM

Oh, well. The 24Mp sensor is inferior to 16Mp in still photo.
