It will just be a few weeks before it is unveiled. Lat's all wait and see. Beside, what I know about the new DSLR might have been changed all together.<br /><br />RegardsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363645754592641317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-76818290167158716142009-04-29T16:24:00.000-07:002009-04-29T16:24:00.000-07:00Would you be so kind as to share some specs with m...Would you be so kind as to share some specs with me or answer these questions at least if you know anything?? <br /><br />I have the press photos front back sides, top and with lens kit just no official specs <br /><br />Will it have GPS?<br /><br />Do you know much about the new AF?<br /><br />Is there something special about the flash?<br /><br />Dual SD cards?<br /><br />I'm really excited about this camera!

I was very interested in the body based IS and that you can use just about any pentax lens!

The new DSLR will have a lot of improvements and will be a great camera. I just don't want folks to "build" the camera for more than it's going to be and set themselves for disapointment. But it's certainly an exciting time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363645754592641317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-50797363116134065532009-04-29T01:59:00.000-07:002009-04-29T01:59:00.000-07:00I see the pressure become to much for you Bourque....I see the pressure become to much for you Bourque. Hope we havn't nagged you to much :)<br /><br />I sure hope they are introducing something good. Most of all, I hope they've finally sorted out the underexposure problem. It's not a problem for me as I use the histogram to judge and take a new picture if necesarry, but many newcommers to dSLR's would just start shooting, import the jpegs and find that all their pictures are terribly underexposed. I almost never shoot at 0EV. At a minimum it's at +0.5EV, and very often I'm shooting at as much as 1.0EV and even 1.5EV. These aren't in difficult shooting conditions either, but perfectly normal circumstances. Hope they sort it out. With my old D70, I knew nothing about photography. I only shot using jpeg and had no idea what exposure compensation was, so I never used it and the exposure chosen by the camera was much better than what my k200d is delivering, and the D70 is around 5 years old now.<br /><br />I'm hoping to bag a cheap K20D when the new one comes along. It's already costing half of what it used to here in Norway. Hoping it will go down another $100 or so when the new one comes along.Aleksander Helgakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636244291534105345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-31015708200333780872009-04-27T12:35:00.000-07:002009-04-27T12:35:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing.
