Any news on what mount? Will they make a new one? hehehe...

 

[Recoil3d]

Cant wait for pentax new cameras !

But i also agree that the mount for EVIL cameras will be different or else the camera will be alot bigger than the current models and size is whats matter for these type of cameras!!

Would that be the one reason for you to switch full-time to Pentax?

Ha ha ha see how lah.

what is FF... :dunno: free food... :bsmilie:

got MF already what... why go FF... going backwards :bsmilie:

eh I don't know about you, but I sure won't lug that MF camera out lor. It's place is on a tripod in a studio. Ha ha ha.

There would not be a need for an adapter if the camera was sized to that of a film SLR (Yes flange to film plance dist. 45.46mm).
Many of the current small form factor EVILs are made small for the sake of being small anyway (like the NEX+bean can example). They don't end up being pocketable nor balanced as such. The NX10 is more reasonable in size though (ie. bigger).
The SR would probably have to go though, but on the other hand, a smaller more easily holdable camera would have a tad bit more mileage on camera shake with small lenses.

An adapter would likely mean loss of auto aperture and/or AF, which I hope will not be the way. New small lenses would also take away production and development capability from standard APS-C DSLRs.

Then, again, enough speculation from me
Lets see in Sept.
(I just keep my fingers crossed)

Kinda it would be a big shock to other competitors when Pentax suddenly can input SR into its EVIL. That would make us proud. :lovegrin:

Olympus PEN EVIL has SR, so perhaps Pentax can go that way instead, making bodies somewhere in between the MX and MZ slr size? Would still be much smaller than the K-X and mirrored systems
