k, if lots of ritz people are talking about pentax, that's a sign they ain't goin anywhere. When I worked there (about a year ago), there were only two, maybe three districts that sold very much Pentax gear at all.

"Being a Ritz Camera employee, I can assure you that the salespeople have no "inside" information about Canon, Nikon, Pentax, etc. To the contrary, about 5 or 6 new items have showed up in our digital stockbook for Pentax in the last week, which would be absurd if they were going out of business.

He didn't tell more about those new items though

I have was told the same thing by a Ritz employee at a Ritz in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1989. That particular store is no longer there.

Something new???

It's like steroid K20D with unremovable battery-grip. Where did you get it? I hope it can 5 fps.

No internal flash but it does have a flash button? Why would you need 2 x-ports for? I really have my doubts about this one...

Photoshoped? Where did you get it? The flash place is Photoshoped. As for battery-grip - I'm not sure.

Oh c'mon man, it's true

Of course it's fake!

If you still have doubts: he just edited it to remove the flash button that was there earlier

Not only that. Tha AF selector needs the third AF position ... AF.A for auto tracking focus.

Also did anyone notice the TWO PC-sync ports?

I am, the transition between grip and body seems to have a slight difference in texture....
