Could be a white Rebel/Kiss or whatever with a white lens (possibly EF 50mm F1.8 II), according to a Japanese website. I don't understand why Canon has to announce a white Rebel at this time. This has no impact at all on the market after the excitement of Sony's A7/r and the debacle of Nikon's Df. I guess Canon only wants to say, "I'm here! Don't forget me!" I'm more interested in another rumor on Canon's possible announcement of 8 lenses next year.

Or is it the rumored ~40MP FF body from Canon, which should attack medium format market ?
so many colors. but less then k-50
I´m pretty sure what it is.
Is a new Canon T7i!!!, wich come an important improvement on grip. Now you can hold it just with one hand, but not for more than 2 min. That is all.

Could be could be their version of the Sony A-7. I'm waiting to see what the Full Frame Baclight Image Sensors go into, they say Sony's first but the organic image sensor that Panasonic and Fugi worked on is ready to go (hope it's on par with Fugi Velvia Film) but they still need to make me a good camera for my coat pocket that takes AA batteries in a pinch or all the time before P&S is never more, a bright 28-135mm, 7mp, backlight 1" would do fine.
pretty much everybody is moving in the direction of FF MILC. A year in Sony is a decade for Pentax. So, the next few years when Sony releases the Medium Format MILC, I wonder where will Pentax be. Medium Format MILC + 55MM F2.8 or F3.5 pancake and just a bit bigger than the current Nex body. As for canikon, they won't lead or innovate; they like to play catch up. As for Pentax, yes 120 colour K3 variants.

Don't know why everybody is so intent on saving a little size, but that's why we have to go with EVF or nothing.

Just one question that is extremely intruding: What is Canon paying you for your "Pentax" Blog? ;->
i think rice is MIA or KIA! :))

O. K.
Let's get back to Ricoh, (everybody cheer) congratulations on my K-5III.
What does my Pentax FluCard do, if and when it ships.
I pre-ordered it when it was first announced a month ago, is it vapor-ware Ricoh says nothing about it.

Dan, return it? What's the issue? A fan on dpreview (Jim R.) returned his and wrote a long post about it. Turns out the K5IIS is the best buy right now. Yes, the K5IIS that PF convinced everyone not to upgrade to.

They should have done a full frame.

Still no AC adapter for the Pentax K-3, but here's some links for micro USB-3 and micro HDMI cables http://www.mycablemart.com/store/cart.php?m=view http://www.hypershop.com/HyperThin/HTU08-BLACK.ht...
I have an insider info that this is going to be Canon's first digital medium format camera with a new mount. 8 lenses will be released at the same time, 7 more to follow in the next 36 months. It is similar to Leica S2, but smaller, and cheaper at around $5,999 for body only.

Great (FYI), I'd love to see a mount that will take my (3 X 2) FF 35mm lenses and 36mm X 27 mm or larger (4X3) without an adaptor and with a close registration distance (requiring an EVF), it's very possible if they use 14bit color depth and don't go all the way to 36mm X 48mm Medium Format. Maybe they could make the EVF removable so you can swap it over to a coat-pocketable camera.
P. S.
I'm looking to buy a FF-DSLR (Nikon or Canon if Ricoh ain't going to make it) but over 5 grand is large coin.
