Quoting "[email protected]" <[email protected]>:
I've been on this list for about 11 or 12 years now and I've seen
variations of this thread more times than I can count. They all
start with a rumour. Then we wail and gnash our teeth:
You say that as if it's a bad thing....
Where would this list be if we weren't able to tell Pentax why their
new product is a pile of doggy doo before anyone has seen one?
Cheers

"Pentax is abandoning the enthusiast market!"
"I'll have to sell or get rid of my valueless Pentax gear and buy
[insert brand here]."
"How will Pentax survive without a dslr (or on the old days, an
slr)? Whatever we do?"
Girls and boys, this is only a rumour. It's a rumour about something
they may produce, not about what they're going to discontinue.
I can't imagine that Pentax is not going to continue to build a
flagship dslr, especially with the accolades that the K5 has garnered.
I just can't imagine that whatever else they make they will not have
a top-quality dslr. Even if they don't make so much (or any) money
on it, they need it to anchor the line.
Please remember that we're moaning about an ~unsubstantiated~
rumour. Nothing more.
Steady on, mates...
;-)
Cheers,
frank

Subject: Re: New Pentax EVIL rumor, with specs
The "specs" look like it's going to be one of those hold it out at arms
length & squint at the little TV screen on the back cameras.
From: David Parsons
If there is no mirror, it's pretty hard to have an optical viewfinder.
Unless you are talking about it being a rangefinder (which I don't
see Pentax doing), without a mirror, it's going to be an EVF.
I doubt that Pentax has anything to do with these rumors. People love
to speculate.

No one seems to know if it has a built in EVF, aside from the LCD.
From what I've seem with other companies, not mentioning the EVF means
that it's not built in and is only an add-on if it exists at all.
OTOH, who knows the nature of this rumor? ?I always wonder if the
company floats these rumors to gauge reaction and then tweaks the
final designs.

"without a mirror and optical viewfinder."
I can live without the mirror, but without a viewfinder it's no use to me.
