Ok, K7D the May 21th!

Taken from russian forum (http://www.penta-club.ru/forum/)
UPDATE: quesabesde confirms OUR specs!
The k7d will land on earth May 21th!!!
There are many forum discussions around so it is quiet difficoult to have a good overview over the specs.
But for sure the price will be something between 1.200-1.500 Euro. The camera will have video recording. You can use the new DA* lenses. There is a new Auftofocussytem. 100% viewfinder, kind-of-metal-housing, hd-videomode, better, faster and more accurate af, 5-6fps, many little changes in order to improve ergonomy…â€
French magazine “Réponses Photo†confirms new Pentax DSLR release for may.
A poster in a pentax forum writes “pentax is late comapring to canikon so this new item would be a DSLR that will “jump†a generation and will bring something newâ€
Then DA* 60-250 launch date is 24th of April!!!
There seems to be a Microphone hole opening on the head of the camera in front of the Hotshoe, which implies it is a video capable DSLR!
UPDATE: This are the probable specs:
- Same sensor as the K20D
- Up to 6400 ISO with better noise treatment
- 5 images/sec
- 100 % viewfinder
- Better weatherproofing
- Mirror lockup
- Liveview and HD Video
- Better stabilizer .
- Better DRE mode
- 77 zones light metering
- Much better AF system even with non-SDM lenses
- 3 inches/ 920 000 pixels screen with in-body editing (crop…)
- 1/8000 shutter with 1/250 sync

I thought it is a important news for everybody. But may it is to present in the website, to many pictures. So next time I will keep the news short!
A second problem was that a lot of websites made a link to this article so that I had the pressure to keep it updatet.
To be honest, today there is no news in Olympus and Panasonic world. But in two weeks you will see a lot of Olympus fireworks on this website
