My recollection was the hint that it would be an APS camera with "full frame performance". The only thing I was able to find though was Rice High's translation of an interview: http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2009/03/interview-with-hoya-senior-official-on.html As responding to what was told in the Photokina last year for two new Pentax DSLRs to come, he (the HOYA official I mean, and will be referred to be as "he" thereafter) responded that the K200D replacement would still come at the end of this year whilst "a DSLR in the same price range of the K20D" would come this summer holidays. So the K-7 is in the price range of the K20, same list price at release. And it did come out in the summer. That means that what we have to look forward to is something a little down market from the K-7, for a lower price. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
