How about someone here buys one and see what turns up?
As for me I'm really tempted by the KP at 990 fast devaluing AUD.

50Mp would be too less for a new 645.
50Mp is to allow more crop on apsc, they've listened to Normhead.
For the 645, it is expected that the next model would feature 100M, unless the new 645 doesn't have a mirror as a new feature and keep the same sensor of the Z.

Unfortuneately, I don't have $ 7 599 to spare today. Maybe tomorrow! Or not? :-)

The KP is listed as discontinued at my Pentax dealer in Oslo.

Fingers crossed for the KZ to be the K-3II successor annonced on Sept. 22. ))
... OR (and most likely) a KP II with (I hope) GPS, better battery, 2 SD slots and a larger grip

Specs are probably random values copy pasted when creating the listing entry...

Since Pentax is too slow and late to produce a MILC to match the latest Nikon release, they decided to listen to their user base and indulge them with their favourite past time of a make believe camera... 😉😜

Now the black and silver are listed at the same price, though the 14-24 lens is not available on the silver model.

Could it be Adorama is telling us that the APS-C flagship is coming. And that we should start budgeting. The only thing that seems to make sense is the price. Which would seem about right for a flagship. If they don’t provide any correct details it’s not violating any NDA correct?.

My take is “Lies are not lies”

My take is “Lies are not lies”
if it is not a mistake

my guess it is ' authorized ' as a pre release PR stunt

I can't see them risking any relationship they have with Pentax by violating any agreements

It seems nobody cares a new Pentax on dpreview (except me, I created the thread to see the (absence of) reactions ^^)

Maybe Pentax users have abandoned DPReview. I rarely enter that site. I wonder why?

Could it be that Ricoh has figured out how to start a feeding frenzy.
