Was it actually =labelled= as a Pentax camera? If so, it's the first sign of life from their marketing department since the K10D.

I saw a new Pentax camera for sale that was actually ON DISPLAY at a store last night. Pentax X-5 at a Target store. Tethered down by a security link of course, but you could pick it up, turn it on & see what it was like ... to a limited extent. Looks like it has an electronic viewfinder, but apparently defaults to Live View on the little TV screen on the back. The viewfinder stayed dark. I didn't try to figure out how to get into the menu to change it so I could test out the viewfinder & I don't think there was a memory card in it, so I didn't try to take a photo. I might take a card with me & go back to look at it again. But mainly it was like I walked around the corner at the electronics counter and "DAMN! Is that really a Pentax camera?" And it was. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
