Originally posted by tcdk Did I miss something? Or is there currently very, very little info on anything related to the photos this thing will take?
Nothing on the sensor, except that it will stay APS-C. Nothing solid on DR, resolution, ISO Range...
AF seems to be the same, flash sync half a stop faster...
All we have are a handful of people who has seen it and are excited...
(I'm not grumpy about it - just trying to stay down on the ground)
You didn't miss anything. You're right. All we have are rumours about the specifications and nothing else. There aren't even any leaks - at least no official documentation has made it into the public domain which confirms or even indicates any specifictions. RiceHigh's blog is rumour until proved otherwise.
This has got somewhat out of hand. We have no firm information about the camera since the very first image leaked.
All we
know is:
1) Has front dial
2) Has fixed LCD
3) Has HDMI connection
4) Has external mix connection - therefore has video
5) Has top LCD
6) APS-C (Pentax have stated this in interviews)
7) No EVF (Pentax have stated this in interviews)
I'm not including anything about the AF assist light or white balance sensor thing as this is just speculation (however likely it may or may not be).
The hype that's being built up by certain posters is very similar to the hype that got built up for the K20Ds release. It is even recycling some of the same rumours about in-OVF EVF elements.
I am getting a bit bored now to be honest...
