HD coating looks promising.

I wish that the 560mm can be within my budget frame in the years to come.

It's good they keep the K5 body, because how to imnprove an alreast perfect body?
Supposedly once again AF performance is improved, I hope it is true.

Really nice is that they offer a K5 without AA filter!

Actually there is a new top model expected to come too, curious if it will materialize, resp. if one will be "announced"

very smart to offer a body with and without AA filter. ALL companies should do this as its no extra cost to them, big difference to us.

Well at least the debate will be re-enhanced re no AA filter :p

It's clever marketing in a sense, as its driving education and awareness to the idea of "sharper" images. Its fits with there new "HD" coated lenses. Making customers aware of a problem they didn't realize they had, and then providing them a solution to it.

I'll stick with my K10d for the time being Razz I already have Pentax bodies without AA filters, I've been using them for years Laughing

Hmmmm, looks like the long awaited FF camera won't be released this year, or is that yet to hit the news desk?

They don't think a new body is due until at least the launch some lenses that cover the full frame. There current lenses are all 1.5 crop size
