http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-9861087-39.html
and http://www.electronista.com/articles...nd.slr.coming/ < in part> LAS VEGAS--Pentax just announced its new flagship SLR camera, the K20D, but the Japanese company has plans on the drawing board for a higher-end class of camera in 2009. On the Pentax roadmap for 2009, the SLR quality arrow jumps up "much higher" above the K20D--a bigger step up than the one from the K10D to the K20D--said John Carlson, Pentax's product manager for imaging systems. "That would be a new category" of SLR for Pentax, he said, but was mum on further details. ...... But don't expect a full-frame Pentax, at least for the time being, Carlson said. Asked whether it was in the plans, he said, "At this point I would say no. The lenses are designed for the APS-C format," Carlson said. However, he qualified his remarks with a disclaimer: "What will happen in two years? Who knows." _____ reveals that a new, higher-end camera should be enroute sometime in 2009 and will be considered the first fully professional camera from Pentax. < more at the links> ..... I think that Pentax will be around for quite a while, using the APS-C. |

There must be few pro photographers with a collection of lenses for the 645 who would a love a digital body to use them on. |
