I think Pentax marketing renamed the MZ-D/MR-52 as the K1D some time ago
and releassed a few photographs through a Japanese or Chinese high tech
web site, (part of a viral marketing campaign, yes I know very cutting
edge for Pentax but that's what it looks like to me). So the K1 already

I think that if there is a pro-level camera, it will still be a K1D.
Why skip a number that never existed? I also think that it will be
the same size sensor as the current lineup, More fps, better build,
more features. Same sensor dimensions. That's my call, and I'm
sticking to it:-).

Hello Steve,
What K10D campaign? So yes, they are different in that this time
there seems to be real marketing.

Not that much. The K1D photos were discussed about quite bit not that
long ago. They were either very good Photoshop creations, or a MZ-D
with a factory K1D silk screen job. Pentax has been leaking quite a
bit more now than in the past. I think these leaks are intentional, it

Looks more like a rosé drinker's hat to me. Unfortunately it also
looks safer and safer as each cropped body comes out. The K1D will not
be full frame and I don't hold out much hope for the K0.1D either.
Silly name for a camera? Now there's one area that Pentax lead the field in!!

I suspect I will be an early adopter. I was for the *istD, and the

I agree with Marnie. (I also read her posts.) Assuming that Pentax
marketing was ever more than what the engineers did during coffee
breaks, they have not been as sensible as they seem to be now.

I think this was all planned before the Hoya merger. It began with the
Samsung partnership. I don't know if the K20 is the exact camera Pentax
had planned but it's got to be pretty close.

The camera had to be in the pipeline a while because of the new sensor.
The marketing could be a more recent change though. I can't remember
but was the K10D early campaign different than the one for the K20D?

Not only that, but its very encouraging to see the performance of the
new sensor. They have kept the noise lower than K10D despite having
40% more pixels, which means that Samsung has done a very good job
with the chip.
Samsung is a very aggressive competitor, any market they take on they
expect
I don't remember it being much different. There was less buzz this time
until just prior to the release maybe but not not much. The K10D was a
much more anticipated product, but the the prior top product the *ist-D
