Pentax KP Announced - something fresh to apsc DSLRs

[ranchy]

if i din already have the ks2..i would likely go for this..but ks2 already fit my requirement of a small size apsc dslr..an alternative to the bigger k1

but quite interesting to see that they pair it with da20-40 for their advert..,look like they are trying to market it as a higher end apsc dslr

Look like that. Magnesium alloy body is always for their higher end models. KS2 or K70 does not have that..

CP plus has some images of the KP.
