The fake production volume wasn’t corrected… and now other sites are spreading it over. Nice job.

No, it is not. K-m was announced on 22 September 2008 and K-x on 17 September 2009, therefore K-x replacement could/should be announced during Photokina (21-26 September 2010)

Isnt it too early to have a replacement for K-x right now? K-7 replacement may sounds good but most likely i would see is a gap filler between K-x and K-7.

The information should be very easy to find. You have the camera’s image, then two paragraphs of text and then a small table with the relevant data:
Product name: Pentax 645D
Price: TBD
Launch date: mid-May 2010 (it was later postponed to 11 July, due to high demand)
Production volume: initially 500pcs a month (they clearly talk about months, not years)

Google translate does a nice job on this:

Please, check this again and make the appropriate corrections. 700 pcs per year is a ridiculous figure, this camera is selling better (according to bcnranking.jp, it’s on #69 for the last week) than all but two “FF” DSLRs.

Here it is http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20100310_353556.html

“500 units per month to start.”

I didn’t said you’ve made up anything; but that rumour is false.

This is the rumor as I got it, I did not make those numbers up. Do you have a link to that press release? Thanks.

” The rumor is that Pentax Japan will produce 700 cameras this year and 200 cameras will come to US.” Pentax stated, in the official (japanese) press release, the initial monthly production output to be 500 pcs a month.
