They are very considerate: they make very few camera announcements just to avoid your bothering too often.

The new K-AF has fantastic 5G connectivity and simultaneously takes photos and uploads to Insta, Facepalm and 500pickets. Should the last one surprise, there has to be some acknowledgement of the past or it wouldn’t be a Pentax. Obviously.

Even compensates for low light, moving subject, and depth of field probs for macro shooting.

This is totally classic and the answer to all runaway feature speculations.

It's probably an April Fool's prank!

All y'all are a bunch of April Fools.

In other news, the Corona Virus is over.

I was not fooled. There is no way those lenses will cover an APS-C sized sensor.

In related news, the Samsung NX line is back:

It's already on back order.

**Fotus Tuus** · 04-01-2020, 01:39 PM

Better than nothing ... It is a pity that this camera lives only on April Fools' Day.

**clickclick** · 04-01-2020, 02:42 PM

I already had a headache. Now I think I have three.
