Alas, I live in sunny Southern California, and although I would love to visit Montreal, it's too much of a drive for me. I hope your show is a great success!

An excellent use-case for the K-01, exactly why I bought one: quiet and inconspicuous. Nice work!

What we'll see: 1 or 2 almost certainly, and a decent possibility of numbers 8 or higher. Asahi Man has said "glass is on the horizon." If there's a FF body in the works, we may just get news of...

I'll give a dissenting opinion here: I think it *WILL* get a review here, for 2 reasons: first, Pentax is demonstrating commitment to the system. Second, the larger sensor seems to be getting a...

I would take the 14 and 35 to keep it light and simple.

During times like these, where Pentaxians are hungry for news - any news - as to their next beloved flagship camera, we need to fashion a huge spotlight with a large "P" in the center. Shine it up...

It sounds like a Pentax K-5IIs with the well-regarded DA*300 would suffice, if only it had an articulated rear screen. Maybe its replacement, rumored to be coming this fall, will finally have one,...

The DA35 Ltd Macro makes a great companion to the FA15. Down the road add the DA70, and you'll have my favorite, versatile trio.

... has more marketing experts than photographers. Now we just need this thread to morph into yet another full-frame debate.

He was a product of his time, which means he would probably still shoot film with his Leica. If he was a product of OUR times, he probably would have stuck with painting, now that *everyone* is a...

1. K-30 shutter is much louder than the K-5, and perhaps slightly less than the K-x. That's just my unscientific observation. 2. I don't think the K-30 will get any cheaper, and since it's probably...

Good point. Pentax needs to make a compelling case for APS-C, and to do that they need to offer high-quality yet affordable lenses for the system. They already have top-notch bodies. Over the last...

Very reasonably priced, impressive specs, useful range.

I like my K-30 quite a bit, but its appearance is easily the *least* important aspect to me. DSLRs in general are all boring looking compared to something like the K-01 which I find very stylish -...

Inexplicably, the K-5II reviewer's SD card opened on its own. So ... there went the build quality score. That's the only explanation I can come up with, other than (gasp!) brand bias.

Although I think the recent camera launches are a positive development, the Pentax system is overdue for more lens releases. Let's hope we don't have to wait long for news on that front.

Offer a wide prime and I'm interested.

Not right away, but ... eventually.

It looks like Pentax/Ricoh might (finally) have a consistent naming system in place. Now the K-50 suddenly makes sense.
