If it's 7 a.m. Eastern, it's 6 a.m. Central. Not even a new camera can get me out of bed that early

HaHa - I never thought of that!! I wonder what will happen at zero hour?

whatever7 · 05-11-2009, 07:07 PM

Judging from pass history, the press release will leaked at least two days before hand.

ddhytz · 05-11-2009, 07:10 PM

so we may know the spec on 18th.

Torphoto · 05-11-2009, 07:15 PM

Well Only if there are no good leaks

PNTXFTW12 · 05-11-2009, 07:24 PM

lol imagine the sight undergoes a DDOS attack right before it hits 0

Steve Beswick · 05-11-2009, 07:27 PM

Well, if it's anything like the Pentax we know and love, they will scrap the thing about 2 days before release.

They'll probably start a new counter with months on it til the release date.

which makes it 5 AM here in the mountain west, at which point it'd be easier for me to stay up waiting than wake up early

of course. I just hope the USD exchange rate will keep dropping until then, so I can actually think about buying one

Steelski · 05-12-2009, 02:09 AM

I think I might make it an event. Invite my Nikon friend, My wife and friends. They can all watch me crap myself in anticipation and drown in tears and sweat.
Boy is it going to be cool.
Or I could just not watch.
