A digital MX......Now that would be worth waiting for.....

P5 and P50 are the same camera - P50 was named P5 in USA, or vice versa.

This has already been posted in the K30D mega thread though. Some have already [mis-under/over/]estimated (it's) size and photoshopped it.

MAN! all I can say looking at that "shape" is... It'll kick some as*es

It's not ugly, it's just a different shape... as well as the MZ-S or a Russian plane... they're very different, they have very simple shapes but they're GREAT!

Looks to be taller and narrower than the K20

And I suspect the right hand grip will look a little like this

May I invite everybody here to join in our main discussion in the mega K7 thread?

As everything said here has already been discussed over there...

You know what it looks like, a 50th Anniversary edition.

I don't know what to think... This whole thing seems fake to me.

It does sound too good to be true but I really think this is the result of Hoya taking a hard look at the Pentax brand and capitalizing on its legacy. This is what they meant when they said they are going to re-position Pentax as the outdoor enthusiast brand. I haven't invested much in the K mount yet but if this body lives up to the speculatory hype, I will LBA with abandon!
