I bet for an announcement before end of september 2020, and a release end of october.
Idem K-3, that was also available in both silver and black colours from the start.

DLi90 is the highest powered Pentax Battery.
Found since K-5 in all the APS-C (incl. K01 but excl. K-P), FF and MF flagships.
So not a surprise for K-2 in this respect.
It's getting a bit long in the tooth. Nikon just upgraded their EN-EL15 battery to the "c" version, going from 1900 mAh (slightly over the D-Li90) to 2280 mAh - that's 20% more. Considering Pentax cameras are the DSLR equivalent of gas guzzlers I'd have hoped for an improved model...

Super pleased to find out it uses the same battery form factor as the K-3 and others. That doesn’t eliminate the possibility for a higher mAh rating but even if it doesn’t at least I can share batteries and chargers.

I wonder how the "K-3ii replacement" will compare to the Z-50 in battery life - which camera will be the "gas guzzler".

The internals of the battery are two 18500 cells. The technology (capacity) of those cells has advanced considerably since it was first used in the K-7. Im certain that higher capacity cells can be used in newer versions and for probably a cheaper cost than the older ones from 8 years ago.

Nikon needs more power for both video and mirrorless don't they, or they using a different battery in their MILC's?

And that's why I wrote "of the DSLRs". MILCs all have terrible battery life for obvious reasons. In any case, for comparison's sake: the D7500 is rated at 950 shots with the old battery, so with 20% more juice it would get around 1100. And that's not getting into the fact that the D7500 has flash (CIPA ratings use the onboard flash for 50% of shots). The D500 has a rating of 1240, so probably 1450 with the new battery... In Canonland, Canon 90D is rated to 1860 shots without flash.

The K-3ii is rated to 720. That's most likely the SR's fault, as Canikon don't have IBIS in their DSLRs (does lens IS influence as much as IBIS? Is it counted?). I know for a fact that the 6D lasts substantially longer on a single battery than the K-1 in any case. When the 6D goes empty I'm halfway through the second battery...

The new battery is compatible with most of their DSLRs, so the MILCs are irrelevant for the comparison here.

Exactly. I don't expect them to charge less money, but around 2200 instead of 1860 would be appreciated... my phone has 3200 and the battery is smaller!

It's not irrelevant if the reason Nikon increased the battery capacity is due to the increased demands from their MILC's and not that they were insufficient for their DSLR's. I

I'm with you that I wouldn't complain about a longer-lasting battery even if I do always carry at least one spare and sometimes more. We're in the same chapter of the book, just not on the same page. I don't see the D-190 as under-powered.

Yeah, but the thing is... they did improve on it, and it can be used in DSLRs (which I assume will ship with it in the future) so the comparison kinda makes itself . Canon has also gone through one or two upgrades of their "top" (not counting the massive power pack of the 1D series) battery, and they did so before they released any MILCs (and their cameras have really high ratings as well - the full framers are over 1K shots per battery and I can attest to that from personal experience).


I don't necessarily see the D-Li90 as underpowered, it does the job and carrying a spare is no big deal, but it is lower than the competition to the point where some MILCs are on par with the Pentax DSLRs- The Sony A6600 is rated for 720 shots using the EVF! And it has IBIS as well - I have to wonder if Pentax cameras are just more inefficient with power. If I could have one battery last through more than a couple hours of night photography that would be grand

Battery life on an equivalent battery charge is a clear advantage of DSLRs over MILCs, I just think Pentax should exploit it like Canikon do.

Guys, whats going on with the certification location... if that screen is fixed, I don't understand how that certification could be viewed.

I was convinced that the screen was fixed... now I am not so sure.

Edit Edit -- haha I am wrong

^ Maybe it's under the screen permanently? As in you don't see it until you somehow remove the screen?

Hahaha! Who knows.

It is rather interesting, though.

It does say Display position of Electronic indication whereas the arrows on the right say Label position.

So maybe they will show a copy of the certification in the menus.
