Paal,
I don't think WE said that. It was said in a press release from Pentax UK. Most >of us had originally thought that the new digital was going to be a modification >of the DSLR prototype shown 2 years ago. However, as I said in a previous post, >Pentax reps often get the details, if not facts, somewhat wrong. On the other >hand I doubt that Pentax sources send out images of a camera months in the >future. It is more likely that the pictures are images of the digital prototype >shown previously.Sorry for my confusion..... Now I realize that the fact was mentioned in an email from Pentax UK.
Afterall, if both the Photosharp report and Pentax UK do not contradict with each other, that means the new chassis of SLR is in fact MZ-S and a new series of SLRs (including the flagship) will be based on MZ-S?!
I have checked with the webmaster of Photosharp and he told me that the photographs are supplied by the manufacturer source of Pentax Taiwan. Taiwan is one of the major manufacture base of Pentax. I have also pointed out to him the fact that the D-SLR shown on the photographs is exactly the same as the abandoned MR-52. They insisted to me that according to their source, the new camera looks very similar to MR-52, with only minor adjustment to suit the new sensor.
Maybe this is a controlled leak from Pentax to clarify the issue of new chassis rumour of Pentax UK, so as to lower our expectation. Who knows?
Regards,
Henry Chu
