OOohhhh…. found this in the pentax forums today. Looks like Steve’s Digicams accidently loaded a press release ahead of time for the much-rumored Pentax K10D…. It’s gone now (though you can see the broken page if you go to the site, hit breaking news, set the ‘to date’ to 9/14/2006, and hit search). A PDF […]

Dad pointed me to this, or at least I think this is the right site. Operaion Photo Rescue (Blog) is basically a place where you can help to recover photos of victims of Katrina. Details seem a bit sparse, there is some info though. No blog posts since June 27, so I’m not 100% sure

Just saw a couple of items come in on DPreview… Pentax has announced two new Digital SLRs, the Pentax K100D and K110D.
