2. Nikon and Canon were first to release DSLR products in 2013; so what? That puts Pentax behind by... 1-2 months?
3. "so everything which is not done by pentax, is per se not realistic" - what's that supposed to mean?
I thought I was clear: we can't decide when things should happen, because we don't have any information (both regarding the actual process of making a camera/lens, and Pentax' internal situation). We cannot estimate when a new DSLR should be ready; we can only wish for it.
4. As embarrassing as a rep not being able to leave Boston, because of circumstances out of his control?
5. Of course they would talk about interesting stuff. You can't possibly expect them to join the Pentax-bashing crowd by saying "we will launch some products at Photokina... don't expect much, they'll be quite uninteresting; some minor updates, a coating nobody is caring about and a very expensive lens; and WHERE IS MY FF???"?
In fact I think that Photokina wasn't too bad, given the circumstances; a nice update to an already excellent camera, an advanced coating I hope to see in many mid and high-end lenses and the long promised "telephoto" lens.

Pentax:
— nothing (that matches those above during the same timeframe)
:-)
But that is why we all love Pentax and sending them waves of positive cosmic energy to succeed!
What an extreme display of random wishes.
If you want (and can afford) D4-level cameras and lenses, why are you still with Pentax?
Originally posted by Clavius Those made-up rumors that surface from time to time, end up in big disappointments. Other real "official" leaks, Like the NINE new products last year, get inflated beyond Pentaxs capabilities. Both hurt Pentax, by raising expectations extremely high, and then being let down with the real "announcement" or just complete silence.
Indeed, we made up rumors and then we're disappointed because they're fake
