What's new with the viewfinder? Will there be focus peaking in the viewfinder?
doubtful. probably a better layout to reflect the changes with the AF.
IDK, only that optical system was redesigned and viewfidner is new. Its computer transalation from japanese to english, so maybe Im missing something :-). Tommorrow we will see!!!
nothing about sensor? hm?
Not shure about sensor shift low pass simulation, but the 2.8 AF sensitivity is a very good thing.
Pentax Australia just sent emails to Pentax users about a new Pentax product launch on October 8, 2013 9: 00 AM.
I'm pretty excited. First (real) new camera flagship under Ricoh ownership. It better be good. And if it fails, Ricoh will take the hit. They are in command now....
