Few Pentax 645D updates

By PR admin | Published: March 2, 2010

Two new details emerged on the upcoming Pentax 645D: Dual SDHC memory card slot (ability to write concurrently or sequentially to the two different SDHC).

PMA announcements are over, Panasonic and Pentax are next

By PR admin | Published: February 25, 2010

2010 PMA show is over (see detailed report here). A lot of point and shoot cameras were released and almost nothing in the DSLR area.

The previous rumor about another Pentax announcement right after PMA was true. You probably also remember this leak on a retail website about a new Pentax W90 waterproof camera.

Pentax will have another product release this month

By PR admin | Published: February 10, 2010

The rumored date for the next Pentax announcement is February 24, 2010 (it could be +/- 1day in the US). This is weird because PMA ends at February 23rd. My guess is that this announcement will be for the recently leaked Pentax W90, which appears to be another waterproof p&s camera. Not sure why this […]
