More info on the upcoming Pentax KP DSLR camera

Here is some additional information/rumors on the upcoming Pentax KP DSLR camera:

The new camera will be officially unveiled on January 26th (26th in Japan, 25th in Europe and the Americas, the exact time of announcement will be 11pm CST / 5pm EST)
The new camera is expected to start shipping by the end of February
The Pentax KP is not a replacement for the K-3 II, it’s a brand new concept, with a very well-considered battery grip system
Update – the exact translation from German is “the KP is more than a refinement of the K-3II“, this does not exclude that the KP could be the replacement for the K-3II
