Does some guy with access to the Ricoh twitter account , count as a "Pentax official." I guess. Does the guy who made the tweet have inside knowledge at Pentax operations? Who knows. YOU have accountability when you know the name of the guy and his position in the company. I'm not trusting that the guy managing the twitter account is even on the same continent as Pentax headquarters.
Made even more irrelevant by the fact that I don't really care one way or the other. If something comes out, I'll buy it when my K-3 dies, if it doesn't come out until next year, I'll still probably buy it when my K-3 dies.
Before digital, I had one body, and one cheaper back up body, and they got replaced when a camera died. I still have functional Program Plus bought in 94 and an ME in working condition. I think I'm going to appreciate going back to that.
