The Pentax/Ricoh booth is Here.
So, let's have some Pentax predictions and let me start a poll. What will Ricoh announce/disclose for new Pentax products at Photokina?

Replacement for K-5 - AF in video with silent screw drive. Further guess, camera will be decked out and be the basis for FullK (which will be released in spring)
16-50 2.8 replaced, with full frame capabilities
645D replacement, with video capabilities
Pentax GXR released - Assortment of lenses, based on Pentax primes, as well as K, M and 4/3 mount modules with full AF capabilities for K and 4/3 modules. Video changed to H.264 (as opposed to AVI) and many 'Pentax filters' for shooting and post processing. Battery same as K-5 replacement. Pentax infrared remote system, wireless flash system, optional EVF. Becomes the premium Pentax mirrorless system and the design basis for K-02, which will be able to use EVF as well.

Though there is a lot of buzz for a new Ricoh GRD a check of the release cycle for the GRD show it comes out every TWO years.
2005 GRD
2007 GRD II
2009 GRD III
2011 GRD IV
So the anti-prediction is NO GRD V this year. That gives a better chance of GRD V with type 1.0 sensor next year.

i don't know how reiliable or new this page is, but i found some infos there i haven't seen on another page/blog yet: http://k-rumors.com/
There are some infos from an japanese foto-mag about a possible K-1
BTW: In a comment on its' Facebook page Pentax UK denies the stoppage of the K-5 production...

BUT on a comment on this there was a link to the dpreview forum to some guy who calles himself 'Asahi man' and who seems to have some good sources. he already denied this K-1 and did some interesting comments. if you check his profile to see all entries he did. Exceptional interesting IMO were these ones:

i hope i will see a full frame...i think this year i will visit photokina...since it is where i live..i got the feeling this time it is worth it..waiting for a full frame with k-mount...although i just recently bought a K-5 and i'm really happy with it, i would love to use all my old analoge lenses with a FF-DSLR!
BTW nice work in here!
