A "New" Pentax FF Rumour

http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3491706

"Two friends who work at an authorized Pentax dealer told me that there would be a full frame Pentax released by this Halloween. Apparently, the Pentax reps that they are in contact with have passed on the inside information, and they also said that third party lens manufacturers are quietly working on a beginning lens lineup. My friend's exact words were, "the full frame that is coming is going to completely out do all the other FFs from the other manufacturers""

Well, how is the new camera related to the Halloween? Is it something that will be really horrible? :-o Lol.. ;-p And, as for something that will out-do the existing offers, I have no doubt for that! Actually Pentax had successfully achieved that for many times in the past! For instance, the K-01 out-did all the other mirrorless bodies for being both the largest and heaviest! And the Q out-did all the others for having the smallest sensor for an ILDC and thus in the overall size and weight, as a result!

So, the future of Pentax is really Bright then and let's wait for the Halloween! :-D

Yeah, just keep waiting, as there will be no full frame from Pentax this year!

A camera related to Halloween will be in pumpkin-orange with a ghosts and witches pattern.

Colors of the housing i meant...not colors that the sensor can render... just joking... i think this source is not reliable. we just have to wait and than see what pentax has to offer.
i don't expect a Pro-Model - although i expect it to be weather sealed and a magnesium body custom programms and lots of user configurable parameters.

We've all seen this before. Someone post a rumor, gets spread like wildfire, and then turns out to be false, aaaand we blame Pentax for it.

If this turns out to be another false, don't, I repeat don't blame Pentax for it. Blame the guy who spread it and blame yourself if you believe it.

The negativity and the sarcasm in your post are really top notch this time. I actually come to your site for information on Pentax on a regular basis and I find your blog to be very informative. I can only say that the more one likes a brand, the more critical to the brand that someone becomes.

This is a very good site for keeping track of the Pentax Full Frame DSLR progress, when I found out the K-5ii was so much like my K-5 I bought my K-5iis for Halloween because I found out that a FF would not be available until at least now, now that Pentax has let you know it will be next Halloween or later I can keep track of their progress like I have since Canon came out with their 5-D. P. S. Thanks for letting me complain!
