Wasn't the 645 LS on the roadmap or was it an unofficial comment that it was coming ?

The latter -there isn't any leaf shutter lens on the roadmap:

Damn, thanks Mistral.

It has been an unofficial "leak" from The Luminous Landscape.
Definitely a good idea

Well, I remember someone posting about it here but it may have been a reference to LL, indeed.

So funny: there is nothing about potential leaf shutter lenses in Luminous Lanscape's review of the 645Z, it's the 'landlord', Michael Reichmann, who posted the corresponding rumour on this very forum:

Pentax says that tethering in studio is coming before the end of the year. There are new leaf shutter lenses coming as well.

Michael

then he back-pedalled a bit in his own forum:

Maybe also a bit of wishful thinking. Pentax really need some new LS lenses to appeal to the wedding crowd.

Well,he was right about the tethering.

That was public information; them working on LS lenses isn't.

Zygonyx · 01-04-2015, 01:42 PM

Pentax may have had to joke and manipulate Mr Reichmann to sell him a 645Z.

Their booth, while not as large as Canon or Nikon, is respectable in size and on par with Fuji. Now, what will they be announcing?

World premiere show CP+2015

Good to see that Pentax bothers to have a booth. Announcements? ?????!!!!!!!!!!

Neither was tech inside the K-3 on the roadmap.
LS lenses may come. Perhaps not all 645 lenses will be LS, but some may.
I would not exclude future FF lenses to have something of the LS sort, to leave the K-mount flash sync issues behind, once and for all ...

Rumors abound.

Sony, however, is an outlier next to Casio

...how far the mighty have fallen, I didn't even know that Casio was still in the camera business.

Personally I think Casio should stick to watches.

D1N0 · 01-08-2015, 06:14 AM

Casio? I used to have one in high school. FX-82

The original batteries in my fathers FX-80 died around 2010 after thirty(!) years of service. I used it heavily in high school and at university, and numerous family member before and after that.
That's what I want from my next camera.

They make this crazy souped up version of the same Pentax MX-1 / Olympus XZ-2 design. It's built like a tank, can shoot over 500 shots on its battery, and can bracket two parameters at once, such as focus and aperture, resulting in 9 shots. It has a really good interface too. I think they only sell it in certain parts of Asia and it costs a fortune, so I doubt they sell many.
