Something like this maybe (it could be just someone fooling around with PS, but it could also be a leak from a devel-experiment-department somewhere - i have not found out which yet, or even made up my mind about it): digital-camera-for-men.istheshit.net |

Yes, a lot of people do seem to dream of such a camera. But could this be for real this time?
The site it is published on i a site where anyone can publish an image anonymously, and as i understand the site has drawn some attention from both the military and the police (even the security police and military surveillance agency) in the country where the authors behind it lives (Sweden). The badge at bottom of the page that says "Creeper" is a program that tracks visits from governmental IP-adresses. Further, the site is not a place where photographers hang out either, so it would be a bit illogical to post something there if it just is a wet dream of some photog playing in PS. But of course it could be just that and nothing more.
Has anybody read other rumors or pictures somewhere else supporting this camera is for real or something under development? Pentax did present that K10 that had a bit retro look, even if it where just another K10 under the hood, so manufacturers do seem to have picked up that there is a demand to be filled, but Pentax obviously thought it was all about the look and not something more.
If it had a Nikon mount i would have guessed on some Nikon devel-experiment since it do look like an old Nikon, but it said K-mount. There are also the chineese Phenix brand making analog cameras with K-mount that look quite alike this one.

Hello to you all, my first post here.
What is this: digital-camera-for-men.istheshit.net
Hoax? A chineese or russian leaking?
Anyway it looks very interesting, it also says Pentax K-mount bayonet, though i do think it could be a camera for a lot of females too (the link name)..
I have just discovered the file, and the site it is published on made me wonder a bit, not exactly a site where photgraphers hang around.
