So, anyone still doubting this is a real camera, there it is.

Is this the first "official" photo of the camera from a Pentax site?

It would appear so...Ned's cryptic message about a teaser seems true.

Blowing up the crop and sharpening doesn't reveal any new info. The shape of the prism we've seen already is definitely present at 200%+

For Ned's pic...he starts with the DA15. Every few days as the annoucement gets closer, he should sit in the same chair and use a different lens...like...next up is the DA21, then FA31, etc. culminating with a DA300 shot.

Now wouldn't that be fun?
That would be... excruciatingly fun!!

If you enlarge the picture on ned site, there is a camera on the wall...maybe that is the tease.
yep, so now Ned B is in on the early promotion as well.

Pentax is really trying to hold this head of steam they've managed to build. The world is watching. As a Pentax guy, I sincerely hope they make the most of it. They may not have another chance as good as this one (economy, Canon and Nikon dozing off etc.)

At this point, this "K7" better be more than a smaller, metal, slightly improved K20. Let it be the small milestone in digital photography we all want it to be, else now even the higher official echelons of Pentax will be guilty of crying wolf.

I'm starting to doze off now a bit!

Ned's blog did indicate that the teaser campaign was leaked early. Shame.

Maybe we should send that picture to CSI and make them use their image enhancement protocols.
From what can be seen in the picture the camera looks sweet.

Ok, this is the K-7 as photographed by Ned (DA15). Let's hope his next attempts to photograph the K-7 yield a somewhat better image quality

K-7 leaked by dopeytree

QuoteOriginally posted by dopeytree Quote

As soon as you manage to get it into Ned's blog site I'll like it

Meanwhile, I would appreciate if you would adhere to the forum policy to use the IMGWIDE tag (rather than the IMG tag) for images wider than 700px.

EDIT:
I just understand now what you mean ...
You used the K-7 front photo from the NDA press kit. Nice, but others have it in larger size
I found it more enterteining to verify that indeed Ned himself leaked an image...

For people not having seen the press kit photo yet (AFAIK, it didn't leak yet), I enlarged your version.

Enjoy

yep. by now we all know what it looks like. now what?

if they did do something different with the viewfinder, how about some snippets of the manual or something? this is what happens with early leaks. a month is an eternity in the internet age. zzzz.

It sure will be hard to keep the hype going for a month. At the first leak and as more specs came out i was ready to 'pre-order'. Now as the hype dies and the rational mind takes over i would be a lot more objective about it. Buy it? or buy a 2nd hand or severely discounted k20d? I'd say by the time it's launched i could get a k20d and km 2nd hand for the same price.....

Don't miss the boat pentax. if you have to announce early then do it. Even if it is them 2 months until delivery. Announce it and announce it now! don't give people a chance to 'imagine' the specs and then get disappointed if they are not there. Slap this new camera in into the face of the internet crowd before there is no surprise left.
