K5 successor at Photokina?
Rumours are rife that the K5 is no longer in manufacture and that dealers are simply offloading existing stock. Indead BHphotovideo lists the K5 + 18-55 kit as 'discontinued'. This may account for the recent generous cashback offer on the K5.
So, will a K5 successor appear at Photokina a month from now? Or will Pentax continue to offer the K30 as their only DSLR?
There's a lot of wishful thinking that a new Pentax DSLR will be full-frame but, unless a heck of a lot of new lenses are also launched, a full-frame owner would have little lens choice in the current Pentax line-up (about four I believe). I personally can't see it happening.
There's no doubt that being a Pentax user can be very rewarding but a big dose of optimism is also obligatory it seems.
