I have not been able to get more details about this camera just that its most likely
not right around the corner. Perhaps we can expect release sometimes next year. The
only confirmation on features was the presence of mirror lock.
Rumors says it also has redesigned flash circuitry. This can probably only mean that
it takes the new flas(es) released along with the MZ-s something that hopefully menas
flash synch at all speed and flash compensation. The lack of mirror lock and the slow
synch speed are the main drawbacks of the curent model so it makes sense.
The fact that custom finctions are made possible set by the user and redesigned flash
circuitry should indicate slight interface redesign to accomodate these features. It
was rumored last year that Pentax was working on further miniaturization of their MF
bodies; can we hope for body cover in lightweight magnesium alloy like on the MZ-S?
Not very likely perhaps but nevertheless desireable...
