"PENTAX Demonstrates Host of New Products At PhotoPlus Expo 2012"?!

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb10021997.htm

What's the "Host of New Products" actually? They are all the same old and unexciting stuff that were shown to the world at Photokina last month!

Btw, the K-01 and the previous disclosed new lenses are not mentioned anywhere and will not be displayed of course. It seems that Pentax Ricoh has firmly decided to abort the "line" and will continue to execute their that decision. That is really sad after all! >:-(

Don't be ridiculous - of course they are the same NEW products which were shown at Photokina one month ago. Were you seriously expecting more?

The K-01 was announced in February, so it's not new. Those "missing" lenses from your link are:
- the D FA 645 90mm f/2.8 macro, which was mentioned
- the DA 560mm f/5.6, which also was mentioned
- the DA 50mm f/1.8, announced in May (not new)
- the 06 Telephoto 15-45mm for Pentax Q, mentioned
- the K adapter for Q mount, mentioned
The only things that are actually "missing" are:
- the pinhole
- the protruding lens prototype
Neither were announced by Pentax, it would be strange to appear in a press release.

By the way:
"Additionally, PENTAX will have its largest booth space at the show to date, measuring 1,200 square feet."
With the nicer, larger Pentax stand at Photokina, I'd say things are going in the right direction ;)
After i saw the speed of the K-01 for a second i thought selling my K-5 and getting the K-01 ...
I thought the same too, get myself a K-01
