Yikes! No pressure!

I think Ooku said the GRIII had been delayed.

My guess is a new camera based on the KP with one of these high Mp sensors that the star series lenses are designed for. Maybe a Sony 31Mp sensor (4K video?). Pentax PZ?
It was probably timed for the initial launch of the 11-18 mm lens that has been delayed. Just a guess though.

K-cup compatible?

Pentax Australia just had a big weekend only sale of the Pentax Kp at $AU899 ($AU450 less than recommended price) on the weekend. It looks very fishy and naturally they sold out by Saturday. So...it looks almost certain that they are clearing them out for a new APC camera to replace both the K3 II (already gone) and the Kp.

Totally agree..

Looks like he was right...wasn't it supposed to be out in April?

**clickclick** · 08-27-2018, 05:49 PM

Well, we know from Adorama's "glitch" that it's at least a 50MP mirrorless with 1080HD video.

I think he had little choice after claiming release was imminent some months ago with the camera being a no-show.

(...IIRC, the rumor was based on a battery charger registration by Ricoh...)

Thanks for the reminder. I am not a Keurig owner, but know that full K-cup support as a discriminating feature is essential for the survival of both Ricoh and Pentax.

GRIII time? It's already a year late, after all.

Rumor is that Adorama slipped a digit and that it is 500MPx.
