FWIW, I don't think it matters when Pentax makes one or more announcements, pre-announcements, leaks, hints, pre-production deliveries, review copy deliveries, retail store deliveries, firmware updates, etc. The applause here will be fast but quickly muted as the wrangling begins about too fast/slow/early/late/big/small/consumer-oriented/enthusiast-oriented/pro-oriented/Hello Kitty-oriented.
Not to mention the discussions of the features that are included/excluded/delayed/deferred/incomprehensible or only go to show that Pentax is not serious about photography or makes a Pentax user look silly-by-association owing to a Pentax model that appears in a color that Mathew Brady would find surprising and Matthew Brady would use to charm the ladies of Tasmania.
Now .... I feel much better.
