Originally posted by Rondec What difference does it make? I understand if there are political figures involved or something of import, but even if this is a flat out lie, there is no harm done by saying that Pentax may announce a new camera in the second half of next year.
I don't think this web site has any more information than I have. For all I know, they've been reading threads on this very Forum and decided to stir things up with this article. But who really cares?
Just wait for September 2018 if there is no camera and ask me that again. We already have people waiting since middle of last year.. so year and a half now... stretching 2016 and we're almost into 2018.
Now you're moving the goal posts to 'what does it matter' well it mattered the past 9 pages.. otherwise we wouldn't be discussing a camera that has not been announced or even properly rumored. So I think it matters. I've responded all your claims and heartaches and every time you guys are moving the point of discussion around. Obviously I'm not the only one that sees there is no factual information in the OP's link. You could just admit there is no news and let me be.
But I'll play.. I want a 30 MP BSI sensor with 63 AF points in group selections of 9 points and 10 FPS with enough of a cache to hold 100 DNG shots on my currently non-announced, non-existent K-3 II successor. Put it in the K-1 body but without the mode dial.. instead provide a large top LCD panel. And introduce a limited edition in gundam blue with popup robot head where the flash would be located.
