Hmmmmm. The K-5 already has the intervalometer. See pg 152 in the manual) http://www.pentaximaging.com/support/manuals-and-literature/
The second card slot would be nice, the articulating screen even better. Not so sure about USB 3 - card readers are cheap. -p On 9/12/2011 1:15 PM, Darren Addy wrote:
I think the discussion of bodies is a good direction. If Pentax could take everything they have learned and executed up until now (in the K-5) and add a few features: USB 3.0 connectivity A second card slot A built-in intervalometer An articulating live view screen The most radical idea (that NO one has done yet, to my knowledge)... an IR block that can be flipped-up or slid out of the way for infrared shooting. If implemented, this should not be off the sensor when lenses are removed from the body. (Pressing the unlock lens button should automatically re-engage it). It would be interesting to have the capability to automatically shift the focus in the AF for infrared with Pentax DA lenses also. This would make this model especially attractive to the astrophotography market, which Pentax seems to be acknowledging with their GPS unit. Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska
