Or, it can be a pre-anouncement for a later announcement.

In case of Ricoh minding Pentax announcements, the right keys to press are F1, then !, followed by ESC.

davidsladek · 09-03-2013, 01:21 AM

but seeing the topic of the trade exhibition we may see some big announcements... of new Ricoh copiers

and not a word about Pentax

No, it will be a "Ricoh new product launch event" (see below).

These are the press conferences at IFA on Thursday, September 5: IFA - Press Dates

this?
New Ricoh Pro? C5110S and C5100S Digital Colour Production Systems Bring Flexibility and High Image Quality to Light Production Market

Uluru · 09-03-2013, 02:20 AM

One of Ricoh's mottos is 'We provoke debate'.
Whatever is to be announced, will be debatable.

I was right about K50 and K500, and about flashes, but no one knew anything about the HD Limiteds update. So don't take anyone's word for granted. K-3 and 645D II are just rough, most 'probable' estimates, but anything can happen in between.

'You're Not The Only One'

...

What has to be expected for a higher-end APS-C model?
A sensor with more megapixels (see Nikon D7100), probably a newer 24MP version from Sony.
What do the yet announced new products tell us?
The new flash units offer a constant light source for videos.
This points towards extended video capabilities and an articulating screen.

The 645DII also is overdue.
The 40MP sensor could have already been replaced by a 50MP version:
KAF-40000 - TRUESENSE 6.0-micron Full Frame CCD Platform - Technologies - Products - Full Frame CCD
KAF-50100 - TRUESENSE 6.0-micron Full Frame CCD Platform - Technologies - Products - Full Frame CCD
Maybe they have even a better solution now.

What about the omnidirectional camera?

There are also diffident rumors about another mirrorless.

You may not eliminate the possible to see the truth

.

I would be surprised if we would not see at least one new camera from Ricoh at IFA...

*Building-up artificial tension and suspense*

And please, please don't let it be just a WG-4!

Except if it has APS-C sensor, of course

Nooooooo, no K-3 just yet, as I would be forced to purchase it, or any other significant upgrade to the K-30 (or even K5) range....

As it is, am going to have to get one of the WR flashes!
