Only 36? Pentax is doomed.
Also, how many programs on coffeemaker?

That's a secret.

We already know which ones:

645 mount: HD Pentax DA 645 28-45mm f/4.5 AL SDM AW
Q mount: Pentax-09 Telephoto Macro 23mm f/2.8
K mount: HD Pentax-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL DC WR

Wow, didn't know about the two last ones.
Actually the new K mount trans-standard can be some kind of a blockbuster, to stop the eternal "screw-driven" negative point in the standard kit reviews and tests... and with WR also.

Lets do it!

P.S.

I am testing a full frame Pentax K-1 with ISO 300,000 and Leaf Shutter. It also has the "Movie Button" and "Swivel Screen". Camera has NFC/wifi/blue tooth. 51 AF points with 39 Cross type AF points. 11 Frames per second. Camera will be launched with a K-mount converter for full frame lenses (So people who don't want to get rid of their vintage glass can use the new system WITHOUT Vignetting). Flash Sync speed of 1/500. Processor SAFOX XXX AFZ M D N TLD module. 30 Mega Pixels. Built in Full-Tether using USB 3.0 / HDMI and Wifi with native support to Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.

P.P.S The camera will be designed to take X-Ray of previous dead presidents and their ghosts.

Sounds great but does it tie your shoes and make coffee for you in the morning ?

Full frame GR with 35mm f/2.8 please. Pocketable off course.

IF it's a GR, the lens will be a 28mm

What I would like to see from pentax is something like:

"Here is our new Pentax F-01d camera with a 24x36mm sensor"

"We are saving in production cost by NOT including ANY video capabilities and this will result in about 500$ savings at purchase time."

"With that 500$, you will be able to buy our now super-duper made-for-video webcam..... or you can buy yet another PENTAX lens ! ! ! !"

Kunzite · 07-23-2014, 06:35 AM

The reality would be something like:
"We decided to not include ANY video capabilities, thus making it a niche product. It's disabled in firmware, so there is no production cost advantage of doing this."
"In effect, the product will cost $1000 more than a video-enabled camera with the same hardware would".
"Now our marketing department is trying to figure out how to sell it".

I get the feeling that Pentax has gotten even more anal under Ricoh.

Product not ready = no release
Not caring what the market or user base thinks.

When its out, its a winner in its category.
Eg. Q7; GR; K3; 645Z

So hopefully, this Photokina we hit the 'Winner' part and not the 'Anal' part of their project cycle

ElJamoquio · 07-23-2014, 07:59 AM

Photokina and the christmas season are aligned.

There's no chance Ricoh spent a bunch of money to purchase Pentax and then completely abandons them a few years later. We'll have some splashes at Photokina, probably at least one camera and a few lenses. It just might not be the camera(s) you or I want.

Personally I think the banner headline will be a FF camera and a couple of lenses for it. But we'll see.

Kunzite · 07-23-2014, 08:59 AM

It will not be the camera I want. But that's fine, I already have a camera which is better than what I need

I can confirm from discussions with my relations / RI France, that there will be interesting novelties at this Kina.
I guess this will be more than new lenses or weather-proofed Q-z
