cf-memory-pentax-k7 Does this memory card door look too big for a SD type memory type? Will the new Pentax K-7 support CF memory cards? The leaked Pentax K-7 specs did not provide any details on the memory card (images form Pentax China).

The return of Polaroid?

By PR admin | Published: May 8, 2009

Few days ago Polaroid announced the availability of the Polaroid Two/Pogo Instant digital camera. Now Polaroid is coming with even bigger plans:

“A senior source at the US-based company said it is likely that the firm will launch a 6x4in version as part of its upcoming range of cameras that use existing Zink printing technology.”

In addition to the 6x4in format, Polaroid is also interested in a 3x4in print size.

About Zink:

“ZINK™ stands for Zero Ink™ – an amazing new way to print in full color without the need for ink cartridges or ribbons. The ZINK Technology encompasses both the ZINK Paper™ and the intelligence embedded in every ZINK-enabled device. The technology enables a new category of color printing devices and paper that work as a system to print in a whole new way.”

The above screenshot was taken form Pentax Canada. The official release will be on May 20 (US & Canada) and May 21 in Japan (not sure about Europe yet). There is a whole web site dedicated to the new Pentax K. It is also not clear if the model name will be K or K-7, since all banner just say “The New K”, but maybe they refer to the whole K series and not to the specific model K. Check out the chronology of Pentax K events.
