I find it quite probable.
All those superlatives recently ... not really fitting Pentax.
I think the new one will be a good camera, but nothing to rave about.
The 24th will be a letdown for some ...
If what you say is true, it won't be a letdown for some... it will be a letdown for all!
I don't think any company could ever come out alive of such a blatant marketing scam!
I have been a Pentax user since 1992 and although they have often been late or absent in the marketing department, they never have orchestrated such a careful campaign.
If it is all for a basic update of the K10... I think I'll have trust issues with them from now on, meaning I'll probably go with a reliable company which doesn't try to retain my attention by saying: "We're coming out with something big! Be patient!" and then on the due date, comes with nothing and goes: "Oh no, it's just a small delay, we're REALLY coming with something big next year, be patient..."
I don't necessarily need something huge every other year, but then why advertise it as such?
(All this is purely rhetorical of course as I am persuaded they will present something more interesting than a simple upgrade on the 24th. If it goes like 14,6MP, ISO 3200/6400 and around 5fps plus a few bonus in the customization of the interface, I'll be a happy camper).
