I was looking at it at;
PENTAX-FANS.CN

And then looking it over close, it seams that it´s a great camera.
Looks like it can be more easy to use then K10/20
then your used to the camera.

Good thing the mic in is stereo

watchthewaves · 05-20-2009, 03:15 AM

Earlier on, there was a discussion going on about there being 2 spec sheets with some differences.

As far as I can see, the spec sheet released here did not come from an official Pentax website. It could well be the earlier preliminary one. I'd wait a couple of hours more for the official release.

I preferred the old look

the golden ring and the small square badge were stylish. That screen printed Pentax | 18-55 with looks very "chinese" if you know what I mean (no offense rice!).

I guess so. Why should they write the spec sheet in a language nobody speaks

Originally posted by elkarrde

so, what's on that fact-sheet we already didn't knew, or wasn't confirmed:
* X-sync: 1/180s
* green AF-assist light
* DA18-55 WR [IF] - kit lens got internal focus mechanism

Yes:

- Video up to 25 min or 4 GB (which implies that a video file is written -- but no word about format or compression rate). 4 GB in 25 min are 22 Mbit/s. 22 Mbit/s in MJPEG would be ~100kB per frame -- not ideal (the 21 fps K20D bursts are ~900 kB per frame).

- Still ambigous about 30 fps ("up to" wording ...)

- Stereo! (with ext. microphone)

AND ... Predictive Autofocus

but, as ishpuini points out below, the K20D was already advertized of having Predictive Autofocus, too.
