> Any Pentax rumours?

I've been off-line for awhile and haven't heard anything. Anyway, Pentax have changed 
their policy and rumors are pretty much official these days. 
They have openly leaked out that they have a more compact 67 in the pipe-line. 
However, it may never be released judging from how the MF market is developing. 
They also have a digital solution for the 645 system in the works. My guess is that 
will initially be a digital back solution but that they will switch to a dedicated 
digital camera after awhile. 
They have opnely admitted that they plan to market image stabilization but are 
non-commitical as to what solution they will choose. They are working on both optical 
and moving sensor solutions. However, Herbert Keppler have suggested that Pentax will 
follow Minolta and release a DSLR where the sensor moves to compensate vibrations. 
There will be more DA lenses. At least three more to come. 
There are suggestion about anothe new lens series although this information is hard to 
interpret; it could be referring to the current FA lenses.
