Just yesterday was it announced that Pentax is developing a full frame K-mount DSLR and a rumored specs list has already surfaced.
The yet-to-be-named camera is said to include a 36MP sensor and an ISO range of 100-102,400.
All of the current Pentax DSLR models use Sony sensors, so going with the 36MP option will not come as a surprise.
There is no mention of weatherproof features, but this is pretty much a given when it comes to Pentax bodies.
Photo Rumors posted the following specifications, received from a source in Asia:
- TYPE : Digital SLR Camera
- SENSOR : 36 Megapixel CMOS Full frame without lowpass filter
- FRAME: Pentax KAF3 with stainless steel bayonet
- SYSTEM APPROACH : SAFOX XI with phase detection with 27 pts (25 in cross and 3 of f2.8 )
