So 3 AM CET. Were it any serious announcement it wouldn't be done in the US, but Japan. There are no official Ricoh press announcements, so what is this about? Somebody looking for publicity?

Bingo !

It'll be "meh, what was all that about?"

The more hype we get, the more likely that is! Ricoh Japan are probably killing themselves laughing...

I think they must have hired the firm that did Apple's advertising under Steve Jobs.

Adam: can you update the first post with the time the presentation is? I'd like to know so I can come back about half hour after and find out what the hype is about.

The whole shebang is a conspiracy led by Alex Munoz (to increase his reputation) and Adam (to increase traffic and impressions on Pentax Forums)

Actually, 3am CEST, as written before.

Maybe he'll be swooning over sorry announcing the new Sony 50 mpx A7RII with a next-generation sensor, 4k video, 5-axis stabilization, non-lossy RAW and further lines of incredible world-changing Zeiss lenses. Godwin's first law was about Nazis but his second law states that on any photography forum someone will eventually start raving about Sony mirrorless cameras

Well then... and considering that Ricoh Europe/France was the one to leak the full-frame news on facebook... and they don't know what this is about... not good

Pentax + Apple, what a horror scenario. I'd prefer Hoya back for sure.

You're all gonna be really bummed when it just turns out to be a demo of the K-3 II's pixel shift resolution...
