Unlikely, because if they're so close then might as well cancel the II and just release the IIs by itself.... but like everyone else I'm looking forward to more tests in the coming weeks, especially when reviewers get their copies for testing. The Pentax community in Manila is planning to have another meetup in the second week of October and we're expecting the II and IIs to be there, though by that time they've probably been released in Japan and the US.

History-wise yes.
So by the last week of September he'll probably have one in his hands for testing.

Reminds me how the Nikon D3200, which was announced and released later than the K-30, got a complete review before the latter.
) lol.
They're waiting for the Pentax hype to die down before releasing a complete unbiased review. It's like they don't want people talking positively about Pentax
