By PR admin | Published: October 9, 2011

The previous rumors for a new Pentax products announced during the Salon de la Photo show in Paris (October 6-10, 2011) turned out to be a mistake according to this forum post from a PentaxForum member who actually visited the Pentax booth and talked to the reps:

  • The print on the invitation about a new product was a simple mistake.
  • There will be no new product this year.
  • There will be maybe something new in January, but we don’t have to worry about waiting until Photokina.
  • The Pentax camera division will not merge with the Ricoh camera division in the coming year.
