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.
Entirely believable until you get to the "roughly $6,000.00" part. Everyone knows that Pentax doesn't compete at that price level with anyone. Had you said, "$899.99" or even "$549.99" I would find it entirely credible, but "$6,000.00" shows someone is pulling someone's leg or finger or something.
