Pentax Austria confirms the release of the new Pentax K7D. It will be announced the third week in May.
There are a lot of speculations, 1.3 cropfactor, square sensor, video recording, new autofocus system… 🙂
What is certain the K7D is not a K20 successor but a completely new line of Pentax digital cameras.

Nice!
PENTAX really needs something to keep competitive.
I wonder if Samsung would come up with GX-7 or would they stick to their ne NX series with aps size chip and EVF instead of a flipping mirrors. In any case the photographic future would bring great products from these two companies.
