Update: see the post on NikonRumors.com for more details.
Yvon Bourque made this statement on his blog yesterday:
“Something new is coming. DSLRs will never be the same… Pentax K-5/ K-7 will get it first, but Nikon, Canon, Sony and Olympus will get it next.”
A new lens? A firmware update? A new accessory? Maybe a new book? Does anyone have a clue?

And no word on when it will be announced for Panasonic??? What a pity!
new color body
It is a Lady Gaga Version!!
Hello Kitty Swarovski crystals
Or if the 645D is anything to go by a ‘full frame’ sensor with a 2x crop factor.
I think we’ve bacome a bit jaded with respect to Pentax marketing.
Only thing that I can imagine is some form of special 3rd party battery grip, seen as the k5 and k7 use the same one?
” Dildo lens with F-VR”
Fast Vibration & Rotative
The porn film industry will be all a buzz over that one.
Does Canon and Co have a GPS Add-On for the Hotshoe?
Yes there are gps modules for C&N.
Sony has now one model with build in GPS and likely following released will also include this.
To be honest it’S a shame the companies have not included GPS into their camera earlier.
Every cel phone now has that,
And the external GPS modules are way overpriced in comparison.
Light Peak port converter/adapter. The timing fits well for new Mac Pro release in Mar which it is rumored will feature Light Peak port. Rumor is that a new big black camera will have Light Peak ports built in – a DSLR first when it comes out – rumors is late summer. Since Intel is the chip set producer it is possible for a 3rd party vendor to get access to this technology and come out with products before the big boys. Speed wise the new ports will be way beyond USB v3
Hello
That could be that. assuredly if it is supposed to change the dslr world it cannot be a lens or a Pentax only thing . My bet is that it is some kind of accessory or firmware update for either GPS function or some sharing of the images via wireless or stuff like that
In another word, not something important to a lot of actual Photographers
Harold
price increases
square sensors
a 6×7 form sensor makes sense, it would be a 24 x 28 mm sensor.
how about some pocketwizard / cactus trigger strobist stuff ?
Is it bankruptcy? An Apple logo? Hahaha, just kidding.
Touch screen? Apps? Games? Web Browser?
Hmmm….
Touchscreen…and built in wireless lan so you can upload your pics straight from the camera !
Another feature nobody wants.
Full res video capture from the sensor… No downsampling to 1080p?
I didn’t find any thing except rubbish in Nikon rumor post
A slot for a sim card so we can make calls.
It’s new memory card standard. You remember, the one that Sony, Sandisk and Nikon developed for the need of DSLRs.
Sony A700 replacement will have it too.
Shift adapter for all lenses
An Image web uploader either via a phone or direct with an internal SIM?
Image is loaded into module, resized for web and uploaded to flickr etc?
A stereo scopic bracket to mount 2 Dslr’s side by side and fire them both at once for 3D images?
Graphene fuel cells?
A censor sensor with nipple recognition software that blurs images that are potentially offensive or that may result in a premature divorce if discovered by the wife’s Picassa software?
