Re: Next Pentax DSLR?

No, Pentax does not like official releases of information, even after the thing 
is in the hands of reviewers. However, the info came from a usually reliable 
source. His info on the istDs, that I posted here on the list at least a month 
before any official info, was right on target. He gave me the info about the 
spring release at the same time and had no details except it was to be a model 
above the istD.

Look for a upscale model in the late spring. If they have not changed 
their plans that is.

Hi all,
My name is Joakim Johansson and I'm a new member.
I have a question, witch perhaps have been discussed before, about 
the next
Pentax DSLR. Is it possible that Pentax release a new advanced model (a
upgrade of the *istD) during 2005, and what can we expect from it if 
that is
the case?


I think the new camera is scheduled to be released at the next Ulan 
Bator show......

Seriously, they pretty much have to release a new model, if for no 
other reason than to maintain some sort of dignity in the marketplace.
My bet is nothing until the fall of 2005, similar body style to the 
istD, 8mp, more or less the same feature set as the istD, but with a 
larger buffer and faster frame rate.
Note, this may well be completely off base.
