thanks

ive heard many unkind words about it

Will the K-r even get a replacement? It wasn't quite as popular as they had hoped.

Yes there is another dslr to take its place. No idea of the naming. The Kr af isn't as bad as some or saying. Know many people with the camera and they are happy with it - especially the high ISO. Saying camera can't be focused manually because of the pentamirror is silly. Olympus ( and Pana) have made far, far worse viewfinders - any of the 400, 500, 600 series. Pentax even makes a great mag eyecup that others modify to use use on their brand cameras.

Like evey camera I have tried it on, focus is quicker with center spot af. I would rather use a K5 or 7 though. Lol.
thanks

Have you really used it? Because I have, and really, it gives a new meaning of the words "entry level".

I don't get it.

Is this an attempt to revolutionize the DSLR Consumer market with mirror-less DSLRs. Which you can't call a DSLR anymore.

It won't change the body size that much, But, it will improve the ability to have a Touch Screen with AF points where ever you touch it.
It will improve DSLR Live-View

We just have to wait for a few "Image Leaks"

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #33 on:** January 29, 2012, 07:27:22 PM »

The 1st leaked Image

voyager · « **Reply #34 on:** January 29, 2012, 09:36:59 PM »

It looks like a point and shoot camera?

lisandra · « **Reply #35 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:40:20 AM »

There has to be someone here with the technical know-how to give me a focus theory that makes sense. It'll be insanely slow in contrast AF mode

Another leak reveals part of the mount (?) and body texture.

An artsy prank for the K-mount and Pentax nameplate fanboys. Like the Q system.

voyager · « **Reply #38 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:21:52 PM »

This new style of leaks is quite interesting.

cosinaphile · « **Reply #39 on:** January 30, 2012, 02:11:27 PM »

yes interesting , but im afraid this is going to be a quirky unconventional design that make me do a face-palm....or brilliant industrial design

not sure yet

voyager · « **Reply #40 on:** January 30, 2012, 03:42:32 PM »

Like this?

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #41 on:** January 30, 2012, 04:55:18 PM »

It does have a Ricoh look to it.
I see a WL, EVF
