Dear all,

There are some Japanese folks who inquired directly to Pentax regarding the
K-mount for the coming DSLR, and Pentax confirmed that it (or they? :-) uses
K-mount.
1. ultra-compact D-SLR based on Auto110 (1/1.8" CCD sensor?) using xD memory card - surely a Canon G3-killer
2. compact D-SLR with 6M APS-sized sensor using K-mount and specially designed wide-angle lens, equivalent to current competitors like Nikon D100
3. professional foveon 10M 35mm full-frame D-SLR, probably an answer to 645 users too
We have been waiting for Pentax to roll out a D-SLR for some while but now suddenly it is possible that three different prototype D-SLRs aiming for different markets will roll out in the coming PMA? It's like waiting for a bus in the rush hours.
