Pentax Spain Reveals New Product Photos at FaceBook (Shortly Removed Afterwards)

I admit that I have been wrong since the above is official! (Update: seems to be early released than allowed!) There is really a K-5II and then a K-5IIs (I said K-5N, K-3 and K-3S). And then there is really a completely re-badged and 90%+ Tamron alike "DA"18-270 (I said DA18-200) and so on, which looks rather ugly IMHO. The new DA560/5.6 and DFA645 90/2.8 are also there (that I am still correct with these). I do like the new look of the new Q, though. For that cheaper price and new colours, I might buy this *toy*. Hope that there is a brand new 1/2.3" sensor inside that could deliver better IQ but I don't expect miracle.

Anyway, for people who sent me the "secret" information these weeks since August, provided that your intention was good from the beginning and from your best knowledge, I still have to say a thank you to you, no matter how accurate or inaccurate your information are! :-) On the other hand, if you are just trying to play hoax, pretend someone and to fool the others, no problem - you have succeeded! But then since the expectation is now set to be too high for what has been widely propagated, bigger disappointment is resulted, undoubtedly! >:-(

1. K-5II
2. K-5IIs

4. 18-270
5. 90 macro MF
6. Pentax Q

Why everybody thinks that K-5II and K-5IIs are two separate announcements?

Q10 design looks very nice. i will buy the one whatever it's iq ..............
re-badging 18-270 tamron is quite a bad choice ... not much good can be heard about the lens.

"But then since the expectation is now set to be too high for what has been widely propagated, bigger disappointment is resulted,"

Of course Rice. You will *always* be disappointed. And that you still call the Q a toy proves that apparently you are not just wrong at rumors :-)

Oh and yes, the new Q will have a new sensor. Better. But you will stil be disappointed. Always. Remember it well - 1/2.3'' tiny sensor means useless camera. Or er toy. You know this so well.

It really s*cks to be you :-)

If all this no upgrade stuff is real im disappointed too :( I realy cant afford 645d so ff would be resonable for amatour fashion etc.
How come you have not posted the picture of K-1 FF that I have sent you?? I am disappointed. : (
The K30 is a much better option for K-mount users, K5 II are not flagship specifications in any standard across C/N/S/M43. It will be redundent like E-5 upon immediate launching. Does it mean that there is no K3?

Well, at least there's photokina for some news that would interests me (full frame).
well, being a Kr user, my original plan was to update my gear after Photokina.
Now K5II has been price at 1299 at B&H, whereas K5 can be brought for 759.
It really makes me wonder if the new AF system really worth the extra $550?
what really piss me off is we know there is a new Prim M process available and K5II still stick with the Prime II .
Come on Pentax, is this the best you can offer after two years?
