Flippy screen, squared-off buttons, appropriate lens even if WR, Two control dials, two User storage and WiFi. That's a nice setup, I hereby approve

Yep, Pentax was holding their breath waiting for me to comment..

Is this the camera that was under glass at CES?

I was going to ask the same thing because it sure looks like it is.

mrNewt · 02-05-2015, 08:38 PM

Yep, that's the camera!
I have a feeling I will be buying this one sometime in the near future... really love that B&W!

ruggiex · 02-05-2015, 08:48 PM

I may own one someday also.

What is the RE on the lens name?

Steve.Ledger · 02-05-2015, 08:53 PM

'S' for Special. They've used this in all their recent cameras which deviate from the norm.

Frankly speaking, this one looks much better than K-S1...

It's right on time to be the K-50 replacement (it's usually 18-21 months between models). The K-S1 was too soon, and someone stated flatly at Photokina that the K-S1 was a special model and NOT the K-50 replacement.

Probably for "retractable".

In the unnecessary speculation department, the LCD shows room for 2108 JPEGs on the SD card - my K-S1 can fit ~530 on an 8GB and ~1070 on a 16GB, which suggests a 32GB card and a 20MP sensor.

Steve.Ledger · 02-05-2015, 09:02 PM

Nice.
Though I can't say I like the racing stripes on the flash housing.

mtux · 02-05-2015, 09:06 PM

That looks promising!
So K-S1 was K-500's replacement.

The retracted kit lens looks really small.
