Use the Forums Search function. This has been discussed at great length here for the past few weeks.

Indeed it has. Though, Michael, when I use the search function, it rarely works as it should! My results are very poor when using it...not sure why.

I know that it's been discussed as a rumour for sometime, but the actual details of the camera have finally been released. Including, the ability to lock the mirror up.

Anyway, I'll continue to observe the Rumour thread concerning the Pentax camera.

It's not rumors any more (though it is titled "rumor" and has the wrong price in the title) - that thread contains all specs, videos of the camera in action, prices, etc. Have a look at the end of the thread. And yes, it should have become a new thread long ago - once the official announcement came.

Use Google ... works WAY better ...

Whatever you want to search for on the forum, just add:

site:luminous-landscape.com

to your search and you will get better results than the forum search.

Like this ...

Indeed, search is very broken here, use the google method.

The "main" 645D thread is marked as rumor, and has the (very incorrect) rumored pricing in the title.

Perhaps it would be worthile to update subject of that thread with the permission of the OP?
