My guess is it's an illustration, rather than a photograph, but whether it looks real or not, it's still just a rumor as of this morning. On 9/26/2013 2:43 PM, Zos Xavius wrote: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nfWxVV3SLpI/UkRyhGCADuI/Sgc/0UuYK1ZkO8Y/d/PentaxK-3_02.jpgg It looks real

I think the k-7/k-5 bodies are near perfection. If they kept the same exact design I would be thrilled personally. On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 4:39 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: > and those are all good things, but the fact that the body hasn't changed > means that camera pr0n just isn't all that exciting.

"Looks" is a keyword for me in this sentence... It will *be* real, when it is announced. Before then - naturally dwelling in rumours is rightful and valid thing to do, but personally - I much rather we talked about art or photography... On 9/26/2013 9:43 PM, Zos Xavius wrote: https://lh5.goog

Other than the "K-3"that looks EXACTLY like my K-5II. You would think there would be SOMETHING different about it. (The K-5II also sold in kits with that lens, the 18-135mm). I would bet that image is just "re-purposed" to put it nicely. I do believe the K-3 will be announced in October, but beyon
