Originally posted by Harald We heard some rumours about speculative pro-series Pentax K1D last year. Do we have any further/new information about it?
Rumours said it would be released 2007.... cool if true
Nothing specific however something around YE 2007 is likely. The K10 was originally designed to compete at the D200 level and was downspecced in response to the A100 and D80, so there is a more upmarket version already in design and probably prototype stage that would not take huge expense to polish up a bit and put on the market.
Expect a D200+ level camera with some seriously cool features and even faster AF.
In the short term more likely to upgrade the K100 in response to the D40 which is selling like cheap teeshirts in a heatwave...
My guess.
