Ok, I'll start the rumor mill here. Apparently this may be announced in February.

Summary:

The name is K-01, although that may not be it's final name.

The design of the hands of designers talby au. Rather than the K series, the Optio atmosphere rather reminiscent, like the heavy duty no Ricoh GXR.

22 Dec 2011 - Adobe Creative Suite - substational pricing policy change

posted in Breaking News Written by calsan December 22, 2011, 08:54:53 AM 491 Views Print

With the availability of Adobe CS6 solutions in 2012, Adobe will no longer offer upgrade pricing to customers who are on older versions of Creative Suite dating more than one version back. Customers on versions of Creative Suite CS4, CS3, CS2 and older will not be eligible for upgrade pricing for CS6 unless they have upgraded to CS5 or CS5.5 before CS6 is released. This is a move to favor their new "Adobe Creative Cloud" pricing system (monthly billing for rented software).

31 Oct 2011 - Pentax - a Ricoh company

posted in Breaking News Written by spyglass October 31, 2011, 12:05:00 PM 585 Views Print

We all know that Ricoh purchased Pentax. I received an email from Pentax last week suggesting they had a new look. I clicked on the link to go check it out. I was surprised and delighted to see some familiar items return to the fold. Teleconverters, thread to K mount adapters, 645 to K mount adapters, etc. I feel comforted that they appear to place some value in past products and adaptability. I also like that they are proudly linking their name to the Pentax brand name instead of hiding i
