Pentax announcemed the new K-5 (Click here) wich uses the same Sony A55 sensor. And that is a camera we would love to see from Sony!

Here the specs:
– New CMOS sensor with integrated A/D converter and 16.3 MP (4928 x 3264)
– Noise reduction configurable per ISO
– New prime II four channel processing (but I believe K-7 had prime II too)
– 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
– German list price body only €1.459,- which includes 19% VAT.

Sony hurry! You can’t sit down and see your competiton making money with cameras that are using your sensor (Like the Pentax K-5 (Click here) and Nikon D7000 (Click here)!)
