I only know of one. Tomorrow is going to be exciting, I think.

Hmmm, all I get is "404" and no K-3 on the Pentax site. They're teasing us.

Everybody with the funds, need to sell that horribly obsolete crap you have now cheap and buy the good stuff when it hits!

I of course will be willing to degrade myself and take some of that off your hands if it's cheap enough!

Looks like Pentax/Ricoh got confused on dates. I saw one om the Ricoh site for the K-3 that mentioned Monday, Sept 8th, So is it Monday or is it Spet 8th. Without DPR andAdam on this site with an official statement it looks like it will be Tuesday, Sept. 8th for the official press release.

Can I borrow your time machine and a copy of todays wall street journal?

that way i can afford a shiny new K3!

Where is the ISO 25 we all need and want now that Kodachrome is history?

At the other end of the range, it seems like 51200 is now a standard ISO value. I wonder if it's better than in the K-5? I've never even tried it since I think 12800 looks bad enough.

but this is october? It may be another international date line issue. we've seen this before--- they have
an embargo time for releasing a press release, set to Japan time which makes for a different day.

Selectable anti-aliasing filter... by making microscopic vibrations to the sensor it simulates an anti-aliasing filter... however... it works best at shutter speeds under 1/1000 seconds.... I wonder how well it works using flash....

As soon as I click the "Specifications" tab,
the Ricoh "404 Page Not Found!" message appears.

Is there a Google cache for the specs?

It is 14:25 CDT St. Louis, MO USA (GMT-6). In about 2 1/2 hours there will be.

Eagerly awaiting the first hands on review to see if the autofocus lives up to the rumored hype. As it has been foretold, Canon and Nikon users shall fall to their knees in despair as the illusion of superiority crumbles before them, and the true APS-C messiah shall come forth and depose all the false market leaders as the king of K-mounts. Judgement day for the nonbelievers. In the name of Pentax Asahi, Pentax Hoya, and Pentax Ricoh, amen.
