Have you tested the beast(s) yet ?

(I put an 's' just in case^^)

kenspo · 08-26-2015, 06:42 AM

No, haven't had it in my hands self yet. Most testing is in Japan. But i will get it before it hits the stores.

It must be an allusion to the mount : m42

Stupid me, it is an allusion to the 42MP sensor...

totsmuyco · 08-26-2015, 07:39 AM

If it's really 42 mpx, it's one powerful beast. I really hope it's that great.

PhotoPlus starts Oct 21, a full 2 weeks after the rumored Oct 6 date. That might allow enough time to have an actual camera at the show

I'll additionally speculate the new camera will be accompanied by a new normal zoom and new ultrawide zoom to be a complete system.

Or, maybe we'll see a 3D printed piece of plastic if production models haven't made it through the factory yet

42 is Jackie Robinson's jersey number, so that is a big plus

Does anybody actually know who asahiman is? All I have heard is that apparently all the predictions he has been making about Ricoh/Pentax the past couple of years have been very accurate, so he must have some sort of insider role. Is he a Ricoh employee?

Zygonyx · 08-26-2015, 11:10 AM

No, only beta-tester.
