Emne: K1000-d Coming?


http://www.tekade.de/news/html/k1000-d.html

Babelfish translation:

"New Pentax DSLR On the industrial show in Taipeh a model of a new Pentax
DSLR was to see (the picture originates from a video)"work name" K1000-d at
the edge. Admits became the following features: -8
megapixels -K-AF2-Bajonett switchable only program mechanism/manually
smaller than istDS Power supply over new left-ion-Akku
(Sanyo-1-min-Schnellaufladung) -Als "set objective" for the first time a
fixed focal length 2.5/28 mm Selling price approx. 500 EUR with objective
Distribution before Christmas"

The 2.5/28 would be the forthcoming 20-30 mm Limited? (Or not, at this
price.)

The 8 megapixel sensor will also go into higher-end models?

Features? (A reduced feature set, perhaps? Program or Manual only? Would be
in keeping with the K1000 tradition.)

CF or SD?

Rechargeable batteries only (as with other manufacturers)? Rules it out for
those of us who work in places that lack electricity.

What's the market for a DSLR with a prime kit lens? Entry level? The DA
18-55 is so inexpensive, how much is the price reduced by not including it?

Is this a student's DSLR, as the K1000 evolved into something for students
learning photography? (But would this mean the return of the aperture ring?)
