Awesome! I still think I should get hired as a marketer for Pentax

But it's great to see the cameras showcasing their strengths in this way. Bravo Pentax.

Yes, they look good. Seems strange to me to Air Gapless LCD as a prominent feature. Does that wording mean anything to anyone?

Well, if the camera is advertised as an extreme weather camera - like the pictures suggest - then the new LCD should be less prone to fogging, freezing, etc. Also, it ought to be sharper without an intervening layer of air between one sheet and another of plastic/glass/poly.

And it is hard tempered to be more resistant for scratches and should be even more resistant for dust too.

I put a glass LCD protector on my current K5 which probably won't be needed on the new models....
