Pentax product announcements scheduled today at 6pm EST

According to PhotoRumors.com, Pentax will announce their nine upcoming products today at 6pm EST.

There is no mention of the source of this information or its reliability(SR rating) though it seems credible enough to make front page and so I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Only 8 hours of fingernail biting to go!

That is 1 am, so nighttime overhere. Enought time to knit a sweater.

Excitement is mounting. My guess we will hear a lot of Pentax is dying since no FF is being announced.

What else is new? FF too soon is exactly what would kill Pentax. That said I hope we get some news on it one way or the other

The question now becomes... just how sure are we about that?

To which I'd add, just how good is Pentax at keeping secrets?

My grandmother could do it!
Back in the day that is.

Photorumors has the K5II and DA560mm real pic shown/leak.
The only product that has no leak/no confirmation is the K3.

Personally K5II is probably not an worthy upgrade for K5 user but certainly a good upgrade for K7 users. I am waiting for the K3...if there is one.

They will announce the K1.3, with a sensor 1.3 times the size of a FF one in a K5 body! Or so I heard.. wait. maybe I made that up.
