In America, mm-dd-yy is typical
I append yy-mm-dd to file revisions because it keeps things orderly using file browser sorted alphabetically.
I don't understand dd-mm-yy convention because why would you want things sorted and grouped by day :^)
I understand your concern but I don't think a launch date of Feb 31 is at risk. Now.. someone boobishly choosing Feb 29 is a real concern. Please don't launch on leap day.

What we're seeing is the end of the date written dd mm yy , so the 18 is a year.
It could also mean 218 days from now, so mid-September before Photokina

Yes, it's much better if you want to use it in data bases. I always change the settings to the American style if I have use date for sorting procedures.
In every day communication the day and next the month is the most important part of the information. For this reason there may be positive aspects for the German way, too.

VERY TRUE. As an old-timer, from the PDML days, I second Joe's astute observation.

I was about to say I was happy that '18 was the year...It could also mean 218 days from now, so mid-September before Photokina
Now I'm more worried....
All i want is a nice FW AF-C upgrade for my K1, so I can buy the dfa 70-200 with a little more confidence.

As I understand it:
in America mm-dd-yy is typical;
in Europe dd-mm-yy is typical;
in Japan (and computers) yy-mm-dd is typical.
To me is seems the American method method makes no sense as it’s neither little-endian nor big-endian.

You can have a look at your computer - go to the settings - next to regions - and now the settings for date and time. You can select numerous countries, regions or languages.
dd-mm-yyyy is common in Europe, all afrcian and arabian settings I could find - also for Haweiian region. I did not check all of them but I found no general rule.
The method to put the day into the middle may be some compromise between both approaches.
For computer work I prefer the day at the end as it is the only way to use it for proper sorting.
Best regards

According to my German Pentax-Dealer:
- There is no Pentak K3 successor (in 2018)
- The picture does not show a K-70 successor.
- A successor for the KP does not make much sense
- The top of the picture is too small for fullframe pentaprism.
Maybe a K-02 (FF?) with electronic viewfinder?

I think this picture may not show the actual new camera, but may have used an existing body. It may be simply meant to stir the imagination with the info that a new body is about to be launched in february 2018.According to my German Pentax-Dealer:
My personal opinion:
- There is no Pentak K3 successor (in 2018)
- The picture does not show a K-70 successor.

May be it is a mirrorless k02.yes it is k02.

The 'pentaprism' hump does look rather flat topped, hard to say though, but could be mirrorless,.According to my German Pentax-Dealer:

Interesting: they didn't say "There is no K-70 successor in 2018" or "The picture does not show an APS-C camera".According to my German Pentax-Dealer:
(...)
- There is no Pentak K3 successor (in 2018)
- The picture does not show a K-70 successor.
Couldn't K-70 be, not replaced by a successor, but followed by something different? After all, K-S1/K-S2 and KP are also something different from K-m / K-x / K-r / K-30 / K-50 / K-70.

Indeed, this teaser could have been 'home made'.I think this picture may not show the actual new camera, but may have used an existing body. It may be simply meant to stir the imagination with the info that a new body is about to be launched in february 2018.(...)
If so, it would give another meaning to the title "Do you like??"

You could be right. And Asahi man never said it's a real teaser image ;-) (if he would say that, I would believe him of course)

Don't you think it's a bit early to know the plan for the entire
I'm not saying they'll have an APS-C flagship this year.

Asahi man never post a photo for criteria. Or for do you like it!
