hey Admin, I realize this is unrelated. But if you’re trying to make a general photo equip rumors page you should have a link to Canon rumors
of course I will have a link to CR – I just did not have time to add it.
Posee modo RAW?
wow, looks very good. i really hope this can put pentax on the map again and give them more marketshare. this looks to be an exceptional camera. 100% & 1.0X is truly great. i’m curious to see what sensor it will use. suppose it’s a samsung. just hope the pentax guys have managed to get something great looking out of that.
