Quoting Jeffery Smith <[email protected]>:
Now that it seems to be officially discontinued, will the replacement for the Pentax K-5 be unearthed at Photokina? Any concrete ideas of what the replacement will be? The prices of K-5 bodies are now below $900, so the replacement will have to be pretty special to justify the additional cost.
Well a month or so ago Tanya seemed to have some inside info that there might be a Full Frame in the offing around September. We shall see...
I think there is a gap in the lower end of the Pentax range. Both the K30 and K-01 sell for $700-800+. I see the K30 as a K200D replacement rather than a K-r replacement. Maybe there's a true entry level model coming - either DSLR or mirrorless.
Anyway, I have no regrets about picking up a K-5 for $850 a couple of months ago.
