Pentax "KP" DSLR registered in Indonesia

Kunzite · 01-14-2017, 08:39 AM

Considering all aspects - especially the Ricoh show hostesses - where do I sign up?

There are two things mixing up here.
The Pentax KP which was found in an Indonesian document, and a fantasy MX-1 Q-7 drawing published by a Japanese magazine (It clearly says M-E not KP and it is clearly mirrorless so not K-anything).:

Not the same rumor

More info on the upcoming Pentax KP DSLR camera | Pentax Rumors

Not really any new information but seems more concrete.

It's nothing more than the translation of Sayuri's post on the German forum DigitalFotoNetz.de, which is quoted as being the source, together with the exact time of the announcement.

It sure is - and everybody in the thread is jumping to conclusions. Here is the real scoop: it's a Digital Single Lens Reflex Camembert, and it's going to be delicious.

People take photos of food and upload the pictures to instagram.

Now the food strikes back and uploads photos of you eating it.

Is that what you're getting at?!

haha yes. I was thinking more K-01 design.. big brick just without the vf and mirror. That scared me because that design is so terrible to me that I wouldn't photograph if I was forced to use it. I'd pick up another hobby or (more likely) another brand.

However, I now realize it does look like 2 different rumors for 2 different cameras. Phew!

Here is the Google translate verion of Sayuri's post.

"What I have heard and can now say further are the following; * The new camera is officially unveiled on January 26th * If everything is on schedule, it will be available from the end of February in the store * It is not a further development of K-3II. But quite new concept, with verrry well considered battery handle system, in my opinion ... Wink So, clean your DA lenses and wait! Very happy Please, no PM send me. I can not tell you more, and 26 will be coming soon."

I suspect the silence from certain members of the forum mean that something may be coming soon. They dont want to say what though.

Which is fine.

Now that's a disturbing mental image. Any housing for a Theta has to be at least 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Not going in my end!

It's advanced replacement of K-3II in new form IMO

KP means that the naming of cameras won't has any problems for very long time

))

I think we can expect the leaks in several days.
