    Can’t wait for the K-r!

    Hopefully it fixes all the little quirks of the K-x such as the AA’s [I personally don't like AA's], focus points in the viewfinder, the so called mirror slap blur issue and so on…

    The K-r could be a winner if street price isn’t that much more than the K-x.

    yawn…. the color idea is super lame. There were some terrible K-x color schemes.

    I disagree with the Into-level DSLR and serious amateur labels. I think they should be labelled ‘for people with lots of money’ and ‘for people who dont have enough money’ instead.’

      Neither is a lot of money for a DSLR. Good on Pentax for being a strong alternative to Nikon and Canon. Not sure how to place Sony exactly.

    they love holding out on the most important issue… will K-R be weather resistant? they are charging much more than K-X. not asking for much but i will be satisfied if they release an underwater rated DSLR.

      I’ll prefer to kiss something else than Canon or Nikon but, unfortunately, there is nothing upcoming

    Those images were created by a PentaxForum member – I think I covered them few months ago. There is a good chance however, that Pentax will show a new EVIL camera at Photokina, maybe under glass – they made multiple statements about that:
