Detailed specs of Pentax K-70

planteater · 06-06-2016, 09:47 AM

More interesting than the K70..... hmmm....maybe a 'low fat' version of the K1? Weight and cost are two big deterrents to going FF.

I have to say, the specs as leaked are pretty much what I'm looking for to replace my K30 - dependent on price (obviously)

What is it then?

Replacement of K-50 and K-S2.
Specs are not complete,but correct

This camera is all for APS-C cameras this year.
Next what we get is glass for both systems mainly for the great K-1 system.

Best regards

Kenspo: Have Ricoh invited for a press event soon? If so, do you have a link or a date?

Over to the speculation part. Not all are correct, but I find especially these points interesting. Hope they are true:
- pixel shift with motion correction
- hybrid on sensor AF in video mode

- Maaaybe the vari-angle LCD is K-1 like and not K-S2 like
- Maaaybe the red light for night vision includes body lighting, not just LCD coloring
- Maaaybe the roadmapped DA 12~28 mm (with firefox) will be announced simultaneously
- Maaaybe it gets 14 bit AD and Raw files in stead of the usual 12 bit for cameras with max 1/6000s shutter speed

You lose the top LCD, battery grip, and a few little things like that.

Indeed. Not nearly enough for me to even think about replacing the K-5iis. Still waiting for the new APS-C flagship or third iteration of the K-3. No hurry, I can do what I need to with the kit I currently have...

Pentax naming schemes drive me crazy.
