Why People Still Believe in FAKE Pictures?

I don't post the originated links and endless repeated posts for all those fake pictures. But I am sure you know that what I am referring to.

First of all, this is the original real source for all those photo-shopped "new K-5II" cameras. I have told that they are fake, but it seems that most people still don't believe it but believe that those fake pictures are real instead! So, I feel much obliged to illustrate more! >:-| (I thought that it was not necessary indeed for what I have already pointed out!)


(Above: Product photo downloaded from Dpreview's K-5 page, directly linked.)

Next, these are the "K-5II" and "K-5IIs" "product photos" that are being circulated these days:-



Compare the rubber pattern, which is UNIQUE from camera to camera, just like human's fingerprint and then compare the light pattern projected and reflected on the cameras at different positions for all those three "different" cameras. See the example illustration below, How Come they are ALL *identical*? :-o



Do note also that the "K-5II" pics are blurrier (and with some added contrast too) even now for those so-called new "high resolution" images - no doubt it is just yet another strong sign of being edited!

Furthermore, this Slide Show is for those who are lazy! :->

Click Here to PLAY!

The two original real pictures and the two edited fake pictures are played in their *original sizes* in 1:1. You will see how well they are matched in *everything* except the K-5II and IIs printing!

Still believing those PPed images are real? Oh NO! Are that we Pentaxians really so hopeless in waiting for new Pentax bodies?! >:-(

Besides, at the end of the day, what's the meaning of removing the AA filter of a low resolution 16MP camera? Why so many people would yet believe in such a complete *non-sense*?! :-o

Believe me, Pentax will announce better and more logical things, but not these "K-5II" and "K-5IIs" stupidtiy! It is just a HOAX, undoubtedly! Yes, there is a K-5 replacement, but all those "leaked" pictures so far are FAKE! Anyway, everything will be made clear in just a few days!


UPDATE (9-11): Those K-5II/s front images are PSed but they are real and have now been official. I really feel sorry for Pentax for doing this by themselves!

K-5II & K-5IIs? (FAKE!)

One more reason why these photos are fake is how the name is displayed - Pentax would not use a serif typeface for the 'II' and just shrink the 'K-5' moniker to fit. If we look at the K-30, the X-5, the Q, and the K-01, none of them use a serif font for any letters or words displayed on the camera. The K-01 and Q use OCR A, while the name on every Pentax slr since the K10 has been a variation of a brushscript.

Plus, why would Pentax name an updated model the TWO, and one without a AA filter the TWO -S - wouldn't people be confused and think the S model was better? Then if they had a lot of moire effect, people would complain....
My guess is if they would release such a model (and really I see no need to release this, why not try the nonAA filter in a K-3 variant) they would name it the S and the A, or E (sticking with Nikon, and creating a uniformity for non-AA cameras.

But I agree with Rice, I really do not think this will be released.

On the technical side, I really hope you are right on this onw Rice. But on the aesthetic side, I hope you are wrong. The K-7 and K-5 are the best looking DSLRs ever sold. I hope pentax doesn't change the basic shape and ergonomics for the next mid range Canikon Killer.

The body "shape" has to be changed in order to accommodate a flipped mon.
So why should the grip pattern be different from camera to camera? I'm sure they all come from the same mould, so I won't be surprised if your own camera has the same grip pattern...

And yes, I speak one more point for you, they have never changed the lighting setup in their studio since the K-5 and the new K-5II and IIs have yet been put at exactly the same position for product shooting! And even the camera used to shoot the products has never been moved!
"...Compare the rubber pattern, which is UNIQUE from camera to camera, just like human's fingerprint ..."
Are you sure about that ?
I mean, these rubber grips are maybe made in a mold, it could explain that the patterns are identical for all K5.

Nope. They are random. Pick up two K-5 units and inspect then you'll know.
likely not "random" but rather from a mould with multiple cavities.

Do you have a K-5 yourself? Compare the above photo(s) against yours. One real body of another is enough!
Sorry to disagree, but Pentax Spain has just published these same photos in high quality in their Facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.48664039...

Maybe they have used old K-5 renders for the new cameras, but the cameras ARE real, and that's what matters, right? They have also posted several pics for the Pentax Q10.

Aye, I also thought at the beggining it was a fake, but then I saw the same on Pentax Spain... I suppose the images are the same as the ones in dpreview because probably are using the same stock image Pentax provided, and for Pentax it's easier to release a photoshoped version of the same image than make a new one.
You saw on the Pentax Spain for the same K-5, not a so-called K-5II !
You only have to check the link Christian added, you can find images like this one:
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/25...

There's no mistery there, they are official indeed.
Maybe it's not real shot just CGI for product shots?

Do they really need to do so? Why not just shoot the new product that they are ready to launch?
It's faster cheaper, more relabel and even IKEA dose it, so why not PENTAX to...

Sorry, Rice.

This time, you totally non-sense about what going to happen in Pentax world. All your "predictions" are wrong. (devil's laugh)

I have official press release from Pentax in advance (it's absolutely official), and I have it 2 weeks before now.

The K-5 II and K-5 IIs are real products, they will be announced in few days.

Maybe this illustrative pictures may not real at all, because the K-5 II and K-5 IIs are identical to original K-5. But they are no doubt the bodies, who's be announced.

Not the K-3. Not the K-5n. Not the 645 II. Just K-5 II and K-5 IIs.

I saw the table you post some days earlier, and I laugh very loud about it. It's totally non-sense. Only 2 ot 9 prediction have been predicted, of course not exactly mach the real products.

So... sorry, man. You become fooled.

Nothing personal at all.

More crap, ehm, I mean, more crop is comin'. Sorry to say this, but crop is just boring! I couldn't care less about that.

I think my decision on buying my 5D3 earlier this year was right and now I don't have to wait for Pentax for longer for a FF.
K5 II and IIs are displayed on the link you gave about K-3 : http://product.pchome.net/digital_dc/list_1_103_2...
Lol.

So, you were saying?
