K20D情報？

PENTAXの新型機が1月11日にドバイで発表されるとの噂がありましたが、dpreviewの掲示板への書き込みによると…

From Dubai:

The new K20D will have live view and can preview picture on the viewfinder.The live view is also available on 3 inch LCD. There are two type of AF mode and they said that they have improved their AF performance..The AF uses a new Contrast Method and will not use their exist AF method(by Distance Measuring Mode). No info on whether they even realize that predictive/tracking focus is whats incredibly important to be done right on the K20D. At least as good as the D300 should have been the standard.

In continuous drive mode, this new model can shot 1080p full HD size up to 14-16 shot..while Nikon's D3 can only shot 510p up to 11 shot and unknown "p"(maybe 200p more than K20D) up to 10 shot on Canon's 1D MarkIII. It also can shot 3fps 12bit/14bit RAW file while Nikon's D300 only can shot 2.5fps 14bit RAW file. The GX-20 can record 720p video and maybe the K20D also has that feature..
The sensor will be 14MP CMOS APS-H sensor (approx 30mm X 16mm) will be a lil bit widescreen

Faster AF
Better SR than K10D
4fps

And AF is available in Live View which is better than 40D(can't use AF in Live View)

ポイントは…

撮像素子：1400万画素APS-HサイズCMOS（30mm×16mm）
ライブビュー：3インチLCDだけでなく、ファインダー内で確認可能。コントラストAF対応。
連写：1080pフルHDサイズで14-16コマ。通常は4fps（？）。
RAW：12bit/14bit共に3fps。
動画撮影：GX-20（SAMSUNGへのOEM）は720pで撮影可能。多分K20Dも対応。

16:9のアスペクト比での撮影に対応したのはフルHDTVでの鑑賞を考えての事でしょうが、既存のDAレンズのイメージサークルでカバーできるのか気になるところ。動画撮影可能というのは…使い道がありそう（苦笑）。続報が気になるところ。
