Pentax Germany says on its website that the new K series Pentax DSLR is coming on the 20th of May. We have already told you about a teaser campaign launched by Pentax Japan that puts the announcement date on the 21st. The discrepancy is apparent only, as Japan and Germany are in two very different time zones. From the countdown running on the German website, one can deduce that the new Pentax DSLR will be unveiled at 4pm CET on the 20th, which is 0:00 on the 21st in Japan. The official name of the product is unknown, but it is widely expected that the new DSLR will be called the Pentax K-7. TeKaDe, which bills itself as “Germany’s and Austria’s Number One Pentax Shop” expects the camera to become commercially available at the end of June / beginning of July, and puts the price at around €1,500.
