My guess - waterproof and/or dustproof K2000.

My guess, most will be disappointed.

Nothing new on the site as of yet...

We need to wait five more hours, if I've got the time zones right.

I try to keep my expectations low, though.

I'm hoping they can just make a firmware update to improve AF for all existing K20D owners. I don't really want to buy a new K20D to have better (faster) AF. Is it the AF sensors or programming that would need to be "modified?"

What site are you looking at? Is their a site for press releases or the pentaximaging website?

Just go to pentaxusa.com and at the bottom in tiny tiny font you will find "press". It will take you to all news from Pentax.

New Binoculars and Rifle Scopes.

Looks like they're going after the "Point & Shoot" Market.

The blog says 'some' announcement -- over something new.

at 5pm EST. Dec. 16.

Anybody feel interesting?

I feel pretty lame refreshing this thread for some tid-bit of speculation.

Tho I guess that's better than wishing for the live cashback to break 20% to justify buying a 300mm DA*.

Hmmm, maybe the announcement is some rebates.

Well, 8% off paranormal romance seems like a steal to me! Have you ever dated an ectoplasm?

He has upped the traffic to his "blog" site for sure.
