Are you referring to before or after the insertion of the colonoscope?

Maybe the mods should use one, for cleaning up?

I kinda like my camera body to be straight. I like the retro look. And, I like defined angle corner edges. That's all.

Seriously - I'm sure it's an ergonomic thing, but I agree that some of the most appealing designs of cameras aren't necessarily the most technically ergonomic, just like some of the most loved cars aren't always the most aerodynamic - form can follow function too slavishly - having said which, the camera in question looks very nice to me

So what happens next? Can someone summarise a probable sequence of events or announcements regarding the new camera? I’m interested in looking at the manual.

As a moderator, and also someone who knows a little about colonoscopy, cleanliness has much more to do with the preparation than the instrument

It looks fine but, I just like the sides to be straight. That's why I don't like the design of C and N.

Soft. It takes a lot more than that to put me off my food.

Being an international community, we cover a lot of time zones and therefore sleepy times - but to refer back a little while to discussions of the centenary events as evidence of continuing commitment to the Pentax brand by Ricoh - does anyone know if Hoya is doing anything?

Yes they are doing something, or rather their subsidiary Pentax Medical is:

The official launch with full specification disclosure could take place early 2020 before CP+.
