Well its January which means CES is on again in Vegas.
Anyone expect some sweet Pentax-Ricoh news?

Expect - of course. Get any news? Who knows?

CES Pentax

If you want to see what Pentax is doing at CES, here is the official feed. They have already announced a pair of Binnoculars and several Optio cameras.

those seem to be what they've DONE at previous shows...posts are dated as far back as 2008...

That it? Hopefully some GXR stuff from Ricoh then?
-on second look at that site that was news from last year.

2012 CES: Exhibitor Directory - PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION

They have taken a booth this year (which they didn't previously) in addition to their meeting room; and there is an aligned Photo show this time....sooooo.... i predict a kr replacement and a ricoh GXR K-mount module. anything else will come later. maybe some p/s announcements.
the big guns will be in September a photokina in time for the christmas season

Tonto · 01-03-2012, 10:56 AM

And an update for the M-mount module for GXR that futures a 16 megapixel sensor to replace the last years 12 megapixelsensor.

Tonto · 01-03-2012, 10:58 AM

I'm picking a new GXR body module aswell, perhaps with newer EVF built in and tiltable LCD.

Or better yet... just click here.

At the minimum I expect a K-r replacement (essential because it's already discontinued) and K-5 replacement (in line with their 16 month flagship release cycle). The K20D and K200D were both announced shortly before PMA 2008 (January) IIRC. PMA is now in conjunction with CES this year.

As for a FF DSLR or APS-C mirrorless, one can only hope...

only problem with this is we are applying the Hoya cycle to Ricoh. they may well change things up. they may keep the K5 around and launch a K3 upgraded apsc and have a 3 camera lineup with the kr replacement. it also ignores the sensor availability issues from the Sony plant sitting underwater and still being out of operation AFAIK. this has caused more stock issues than anything with Sony Nikon and Pentax (spoke with a friend who sells at a big shop in town locally they've had a hard time getting stock of any of the 3 brands.)

Its only a week away!

Would be great to see a FF, announced at least.

It would too, but i would bet on that for Photokina in September. it's a much larger photo imaging show. CES is very broad spectrum but the focus is really TV and Audio/Video
