Why not it might get us through the rest of July.

but we have no incentive other than boredom to drive the post count up.

Yall really weren't kidding about no news between July - August. Hopefully fall brings us something...ANYTHING!

I'm not sure any MILC has really succeeded without EVF.

You don't consider 4 generations of Pentax Q,AND its "still supported"!So there must be a 100yr edition?

I purchased a Q-7 4-1/2 years ago.
Only '08' lens released since then.
"We still support" seems to translate as "We'll sell as long as someone will buy" but I don't expect any new products in that line.

Are there any parts inside K-1ii, KP or K-70 that Ricoh-Imaging makes themselves?

Equally, since when was there a rule that says you have to manufacture all the parts of something to put your brand name on it? I don't think any electronic device on the planet would be made out of a single source of components. The same goes for almost any complex product - Boeing doesn't make all the parts of a 787, nor does Airbus make all the parts of an A330. Cars are assembled using products from many manufacturers. Why should we expect that cameras should be an exception?

Yeah, choice of those parts, the arrangement of them, the firmware, the assembly. A camera wouldn't exist without any of them.

It was also a question out of curiossity. Even making some of the half-products inside the camera is possible.

Ricoh!

why I'm getting wrong again and again( ´Д`)y━･~~

[Kunzite]

You should also use the correct spelling in your sig, that is, Petnax

Maybe this time you were wrong I think, ah... just watched my sig for 1min I'm sure is "PENTAX" ( ´Д`)y━･~~

[Kunzite]

"PETNAX" is the correct spelling though
(few years ago, they misspelled their own name on some webpage - the Pentaxians remember )

[Zooland]

Is this rumour supposed to be for a KP or k3 upgrade?

[MetalUndivided]

Is this rumour supposed to be for a KP or k3 upgrade?

Probably the entire APS-C lineup upgrade

At CP+ the word was that K3ii replacement would be next out the door - but we don't have a time for that, so lots of time for speculation.

Samsung's own, IIRC - nice tech, BSI, had fast readout so could do 4k video, etc - but nobody else has run with it, so it seems to have died along with their whole camera line.

The main reason the NX1 and NX500 had such great specs beyond the 28mp sensor which is excellent was Samsung used UHS-II. That was back in 2014. There would have been no 4K video, fps with 28mp sensor etc without it. Fuji also in 2014 used USH-II in the release of the XT-1. The reviews of these cameras reflect the advantage UHS-II brings in performance and responsiveness etc. The DPR review of the XT-1 points this out.

The main reason Samsung shut down the camera division was the on going corruption charges with senior executives. The camera division was a victim of the ongoing scandal.
