Remember that picture we saw yesterday? It was a new Pentax DSLR, but no one knows exactly what model. Some people are guessing that it is the Pentax K7D and today there has been news that the K7D will be "coming on May 21." The above photo actually does resemble the blurry picture from 2 days ago, so it is a possibility that this is it. Some of the "confirmed" specs of the Pentax K7D are:

* Square sensor? 1.3 crop factor.
* A new, overhauled, excellent AF system
* At least 5fps
* 1.0x viewfinder
* 720p video with audio
* 1/8000 shutter
* 2.7 or 3.0 inch VGA res screen

Some purported specs of the Pentax K7D DSLR are:

* Same sensor as the K20D
* Up to 6400 ISO with better noise treatment
* 5 images/sec
* 100 % viewfinder
* Better weatherproofing
* Mirror lockup
* Liveview and HD Video
* Better stabilizer .
* Better DRE mode
* 77 zones light metering
* Much better AF system even with non-SDM lenses
* 3 inches/ 920 000 pixels screen with in-body editing (crop…)
* 1/8000 shutter with 1/250 sync
