On the bright side, there could be some updates to the existing Pentax DSLR lineup as well as a new body.
“E-410. I think this will be what the E-400 was supposed to be. Grossly
the same as the E-400 but with Live preview (don’t know about A and/or
B)
E-510. Follow up of the E-500 Live preview and in-body image
stabilisation
E-x. Finally. Unknow if this will be at PMA to view or even handle.
Available from july/august. Faster AF, More AF points (maybe 12-14), 5-6
fps and larger buffer. Live preview with more robust screen. in-body
Image stabilisation. at least 10mpix. Different sensor than that of the
E-400 however. Nothing known about noise or body size. Would be nice if
the size stays the same. E-1 handling will be continued in this body.”
