I have been told by someone with connections to Pentax Japan that the K5 replacement will be ready for Christmas. I don't know any other details, but would expect a 20 - 24mp APS-C body. As for the 645DII (or whatever it is called) I guess that will also depend on sensor availability but I thought that was due this year too. Ricoh seem a lot more leak-proof than Hoya so anything could just pop up without warning.
