At the Pentax HQ in Tokyo, today my journalist Albert learned the following about the new entry-level Pentax K-500:
1. It does
not have illuminated AF points in the viewfinder
2. It does
not have the electronic level
3. It will not be sold in Japan
4. Depending on the market, it will ship with either the AA battery holder or a Li-ion battery, though all cameras will be compatible with both. The US market will get AA holder, while the European market will get the rechargeable batteries.
