Look at this on Ricehigh's blog !

Now that's pretty promising... let the excitement begin!

Oh, and 0 is definitely not prime, since it fails both parts of the definition - it's "divisible" by every other number, except itself

[MetteHHH]

The K-3 however would have a Prime III processor. That's two primes in one camera. I that allowed?

Very tricky. If you then also mount a prime lens on it, and you begin dividing your images between the dual card slots, I'm pretty sure the k-3 would become mathematically unstable. Could someone warn the Pentax development team about this? Imagine, the Hadron Collider didn't trigger the end of the universe after all, but the k-3 just might...

We might have to test it with the Fa* 43mm which is a prime lens with a prime focal distance .

The photo even has Sony Rumors posting it.

UPDATE: As I don’t have my own Pentax sources I cannot tell if the rumors is correct or not. although posted on many other site in these days (like Pentaxforums and Photorumors) it seems likely that this camera isn’t coming for now.

The only name not used yet is the K2

I believe there was a K2 film camera back in the olden days.

And the original Japanese source:

???? ?????? K-3 ??????????????????? ??????????????

Google-translated from Japanese to English:

They state that there was also a reference to K-3 in the source code:

The FA* 31mm Limited is a prime prime too

Am I alone in thinking that the specifications postulated in RH's (sorry for the language!) site sound pretty good? I will be a buyer if that's the case, provided the camera body is not too much larger than the K-5.

Yup

The Google translation explains it all (NOT!):


Although I did know from certain huge bulletin board via Twitter and this morning, but the page that had appeared in the wording of the "K-3" temporarily, "prized possession Photo Recruiting | RICOH IMAGING!" Becomes the button part page you. It is the "K-5 series" in the now, but they finally made the "K-5 series / K3" temporarily.

Besides, I only have replaced the image of the button in a hurry, if you look at the source in the alt tag of the button still, <img src = "img/ind_bod_but_07_ov.png" width = "168" height = "57" alt = This is a state in which the wording of the K-3 and the "K-5 series / K-3" /> remains.

In the very recent price com, information of Pentax K3 (Pentax K-5 successor) would be published, but I feel like has been charged with reality will be. It is What accident that image from being up in the slip-up, but it will feel real when there is the wording of the "K-3" to the alt tag.
RICOH IMAGING: Photo prized possession WANTED!


That "certain huge bulletin board" has a lot to answer for. The Pentax Ricoh boys probably had a few drinks on Friday night and decided to have some fun.

The Ricoh leak is confirmed by Google's cache:

[Raffwal]

If that is genuine, putting the new K-3 in the same box or category as the K-5 clearly shows that it is the new APS-C flagship as was expected.

[jogiba]

The Pentax K-3 is the full frame magical unicorn for Pentax shooters. This camera has been in the rumor mill for longer than Pentax shooters care to admit. However, that magical full frame unicorn may be just around the corner.

O please stop recycling the same rumor over and over. The new K pick is a promotional for the K-7 by the way.

...??

Exactly what do you get out of making up crap and seeing if people will believe you?
For starters, on a forum of PHOTO ENTHUSIASTS - did you think you'd get away with such a pathetic PS job?
Secondly, pretend you'd done a great job, and that we're all dumb enough to say "Oh, wow, even though we've no idea who you are or why you'd have access to a picture of the new model - that MUST be the K-3!" - EVEN IF that were the case, what would that get you? Is your life so empty that tricking random strangers into believing that you alone possess a picture of a camera that everyone will fully know about in about 2 months anyway, is your BEST option?
I never thought I'd say this, but have you tried some substances? They're probably more promising for you.

It is genuine, google it yourself:

and you'll find what I posted above.

"CXシリーズ; GRシリーズ; GXR; Qシリーズ; K-01; K-30/K-50; K-5シリーズ/K-3. 645D" means "CX series; GR series; GXR; Q series; K-01; K-30/K-50; K-5 series/K-3; 645D" (pictures taken by Pentax users with... in the framework of contests organised by Ricoh).
