Have gone to Langkawi for a short vacation with my NEX for a few days, I stayed in the Sheraton Hotel and Resort, where there is no internet access at rooms in village.
When I've come back home and got online again today, I've discovered that there have been something sound great and look somehow real. Well, new Pentax cameras are coming, including two new DSLR bodies and a new ILDC/EVIL body and system!
So, here is my summary, for a catch-up of the "news" and rumours indeed:-

(in Simplified Chinese. But, what do you see and what can you see actually? :-o Just don't blame me if you see nothing! ;->)
Photokina is coming, but it is always welcome to learn more before the official announcement(s), and as soon as possible! Of course, I hope all those are true, especially a fully functional K-mount adaptor for the new ILDC/EVIL should be made available! :-D
