Here the specs:
- New CMOS sensor with integrated A/D converter and 16.3 MP (4928 x 3264)

- 7.0 fps
- New SAFOX IX+ 11 point autofocus with higher light sensitivity (larger light intake). “Complete rehaul and faster and more accurate”.
- ISO 80 to 51.200 (standard is 100 to 12.800)
- Sensor position is adjustable in order to tune to lens (whatever this means, I will clarify)
- Full HD video with 1920×1080 25fps.
- HDR with image alignment and adjustable equalizing parameter
- Golden rule grid and scale grid in LV
- 650g or 670g body only w/o batteries

It’s to correct for front focus or back focus problems with the crap lenses that attach to this box.
Sony a900 and a850 also have something similar for those who choose to use those old minolta lenses.
might want to understand digital cameras when you run a digital camera rumor site, don’t be a carl

2 years ago |Pentraprism with 100% view on A100 size body, solid build quality and ergonomic grip, big plusses. But quality comes at a price, and added weight. Would be interesting to know if it improves on K-7′s af accuracy and metering. Pentax seem to have similar problems as Sony, i wonder if it’s caused by in camera SR or just similar af motor designs?
