So what's the price of the new K-7 ? ! !
If you've got me to pay $1,400 for a new K-7,
I'll surely pay $1,500 for a full frame Pentax.
Regards, Bob S.
If memory serves, both the K-10D and K-20D debuted in that price range
before falling back somewhat.

I'd rather think some of those were intended to make noise, keep the

No, I'm not taking any leaks as truth. But I think
At the same time, if someone ould have interest in refraining

Well, that's two 645 digital lens, two 35mm frame lens and two APS

I can't help but think Pentax has decided to make the news and magazines
again, and those new cameras should offer some shock value, like the LX
The 400 would be nice. The K 400 f 5.6 i have is ok, but this sounds nice,.:-)
