VERY SCEPTICAL, but here for your opinions: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?s=a9a24ea6 81d85888866035b8610ee567;act=ST;f=3;t=67
Just a heads up....I was privy to some info and specs on a new camera that will debut this spring at PMA. Pentax will be putting out a 14 megapixel Full Frame SLR utilizing a Foveon sensor. No Typo here....14 megpixel full frame Foveon. Don't ask me for my sources because I won't tell . Whether or not you believe it is up to you. Lets just say I am 100% cetain of this info. The SLR will accept all 35mm Pentax-AF lenses and will have an environtmentally sealed body. Specs that I saw were as follows: - 35mm Full Frame Foveon Sensor with RAW only recording. No JPG. Firewire and USB enabled ports. External flash shoe will accept Pentax-AF series units. - Maximum ~2.0 FPS recording - ISO 100-800 with ISO 800 being a special programmed in camera function. - Anti Alias filter and dust protector over sensor. Obviously no estimated Street Value but my source tells me expect the final street price to be roughly $6,000. Release date sometime in April 2002.
