It'd be great if it arrived before summer, just in time for the airshow season

Well, if Sony sensors aren't ready, as a long as it needs....

Sensor production is back online. So that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

That's good news.
I hope that it did not pushed new product introductions though.Backorders needs to resorb too.

Still, that's a good sign.

Yeah but back orders are orders from Pentax too. Build stocks later sell camera's now.

Sure. Simply maybe not yet 'back to normal'.

The production of the current portfolio of Sony sensors is back to nominal figures. That of the new sensors that should have been launched in 2016 is another story.

Indeed, there should be some catching up to do.

The sensor in the K-70 seems fine to me

RonHendriks1966 · 11-12-2016, 04:00 PM

It looks like there is no problem for Pentax to supply stores with camera's. K-1, K-3ii and K-70 are in stock in many places.

Just a few hints from Paris salon de la photo, emerging from some discussions held through the day with some generally well informed persons :

* next DA "wide zoom" lens could likely be in the 11-28mm range and steady f/2.8

* forthcomming DFA 50mm could be as fast as f/1.2

* Pentax K-3 could be made K-AF4 compatible in the future (no impossibility at least)

* no news for 645Z replacement, probably for some time that i understand could be at least one more year

* same for K-3 successor

Let's hope these rumors are likely to be made solid as soon as possible

rumor is true
