(K3) Finally some Pentax rumors -> K7 Super, K5 and more to come
Rice High has done a wonderful job and catched a deleted post on pentaxforums. The “Mysterious” source wrote following Pentax roadmap:
Content: “Ive been lurking on here for many months but finally friend here has insisted that I sign up, I decided after following threads on the new Pentax camera talk I shall give info, until photokina its all not official or real.
No FF plans until 2012
as 645D is filling this, Pentax may review this decision Mid – 2011.
Three new models will be announced at Photokina.
1. K7 Super – a. Upgraded AF sensor 2. manual video with 720p60. 3. Same 14mp sensor with major improvements for noise and banding.
2. K5 – Will be model between k-x & k-7. K-x with focus points, top lcd, will replace k-x next year. K-x was a “testing the waters” model it was rushed and suprised everyone for good reason!
3. Pro Model
this has finally been pushed towards productions thankyou to early success of 645D. I am salivating at this model.
a. Pentax have really listened to feedback and made big changes, DFS can go bye bye for real. b. body is based on the K7 but slightly larger c. intended to compete with nikon d300s d. aimed at sports and action photographers, AF algorithms have been optimized for high speed and action (canon helped here alot). Pentax have had their 2 prototypes at the world cup this year. e. x-sync 1/250 but possibly up to 1/500 if electronic shutter is properly debugged. f. No AF motor for screwdrive g. pentax testing with 2 sensors one from canon the other from sony, both are 18mp decision is resting on final costs of production, if use canon sensor video performance same as EOS7D. g. no inbody stabilization (big shock!) but is it a coincidence sigma is releasing so many OIS lenses for pentax? h. new range of Pro* pentax zoom lenses basically DA* + OIS they will be black with red look very sexy and standout. h. single SDHC slot but optional battery grip will give second SDHC
Thats all folks!” slow, pentax firmly against sdxc.

Those rumors have been deleted from Pentax-forums because where written by an obsessed guy with no real info at all!
So don’t bother believing them, you only get false hopes…
fraud. fake. do not listen to this guy.
this is bad information. all of it is fake or fraudulent.
like AS said in the post above, every trace of this guy along with his threads and posts were deleted from pentaxforums.com
DO NOT BELIEVE THIS INFO!
Nothing “wonderful” about it. The guy was a fraud, posting pictures that didn’t belong to him with manually edited EXIF headers to try to back up his wild claims.
All of this is easily verified, and so this post is complete nonsense that should be retracted.
Not clear why is this a K3?
Lots of people including myself read this post by someone without any credible sources. When he was pressed about the source of his information he didn’t have anything to say. Can not be more than a K1.
I’m the person who definitively exposed the scam. When “SimonSmyth” edited the EXIF of the photo he alleged was taken by a “Pro*” camera, he forgot to change the copyright information embedded by the K-7. This made it easy to track down the person (another forum member) who took the original, and he confirmed that it was an alteration of K-7 photo he’d posted a few weeks ago.
The anti-PentaxForums comments from Rice High are to be expected, since he’s been banned from there.

This information is all fake! Pentax will have a great show at Photokina. I find it really sad that someone would post all this garbage to tarnish Pentax. The big boys must be scared of the new up and coming Pentax.
“The big boys must be scared of the new up and coming Pentax.”
ROFLMAO
the next k-7 replacments will be called KFC !
What does it meen “KFC”? K (usually) F (fast) C( camera)?)))
KFC= Kentucky Fried Chicken. LOL
“f. No AF motor for screwdrive”
yeah right! The D300s has it too. Besides that, Pentax won’t make their non SDM lenses MF (like the ltd. lenses).
And Sigma adding OS to the >200mm lenses makes sense..
The only bog thing about Ricehigh is his capacity to imagine things.
I remember when the K-7 was finally announced, how he(RH) tried to pass off as if he was part of the prototype review team. At which point a few commenters began criticizing his claimed after which he worked really hard to cover-up his claims. Though even after the edits, Mr, High continued to sound like a delusional individual.
Give his history, I can only conclude the guy is mentally deranged(sick).
And I don’t mean that as an insult, but rather in the medical sense of things.
