Hurray, The Long Awaited Pentax FF DSLR Has Been Announced`

Finally..... the day has come for those loyal Pentax fans to enjoy the lime light of the newly announced Full Frame DSLR. Knowing Pentax, it will not come without a big bang and a big kick in the butt for other big boys out there.


At quick glance on the left side below, we notice the presence of a placeholder for the SR logo, which suggest that the upcoming Pentax full-frame will feature in-body stabilization just like existing Pentax cameras.  And this alone will be the big slap in the face for other Full Frame DSLR competitors our there.

The Pentax Full Frame fleet so far has been seen with the release of the DFA* 70-200 f2.8 and the DFA 150-450 Zoom lens.
HD DFA* 70-200 f2.8 F2.8 ED DC AW



HD DFA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 ED DC AW

The final name for this new Pentax FF has yet to be confirmed.

So far, it should be spec as:
K-mount digital SLR camera with a large, 35mm full-frame image sensor
Compatible with DA-series interchangeable lenses, using an image-cropping function
Currently under development for market launch by the end of 2015

Note: The specifications and exterior design of this product are yet to be finalized.

We should be able to see a further spec on the up coming CP+ 2015

Until then, cheers and take a break.
