"Market Launch at the end of 2015"...means they will announce it's availability then...that it will be in the shops in mid-2016? <_<

PMA 2001: Today we got an exclusive hands-on with Pentax's new 6 megapixel digital SLR. At this stage they have an early working prototype which will power up and operate, the onboard software is still a bit rough but the body, controls and operation are already pretty much there.
Sale date
Summer 2001
...and that was a working prototype! The new new one still barely a plastic mock-up!

I have a bottle of Jameson here in my office for such occasions as these.
It's almost midnight in Germany and barely dawn in Australasia, so guess it's just us for a few hours.

The irony at times like these is I spent all morning repairing the AF system on my Nikor AFS 70-300 G ED VR 4.5/5.6, now it works,funnily enough took disassembly pictures on my K01 with the FA 50mm 1.4!
