No longer a newbie, moving up!
And ... that's about all that's known so far.
Confirmed details:
As the flagship Pentax crop-sensor DSLR has features such as on-sensor shake reduction (image stabilisation), twin SD card slots and extensive weather resistance, I'd be very surprised if the new camera didn't have these. Sample image shows no on-camera flash, in line with other manufacturers' full frame bodies.
Based on current Pentax bodies, I guess it will be priced very competitively compared to Canikon full frames.
In December, I made the decision to switch from Canon crop bodies (40D and 50D) to the Pentax K-3, instead of upgrading within Canon. I've been really pleased that I did; this is icing on the cake for me.
Confirmed details:
- K-mount digital SLR camera with a large, 35mm full-frame image sensor
- Compatible with DA-series interchangeable lenses, using an image-cropping function
- Currently under development for market launch by the end of 2015
