On PMA several companies have launched some gear. Pentax, the first to launch gear launched a K20D and a K200D. The K20D is more like a K10D update, it has a new 14.6 megapixel cmos sensor and claims to be seriously better on noise control. The K100D contains the K10D sensor.

Canon came, they day after Pentax, with the Canon EOS 450D. They have updated the 400D with live view, more megapixels (12), larger viewfinder, slightly redesigned body (larger grip!) and new battery system (including new battery-grip). The camera also features the Digic III processing unit.

And then, Nikon came. Nikon launched the D60, which is a D40x with better sensor cleaning, some improved light measurement. Not much of an update, but it will keep the catching going.

No long awaited 5D right. Canon says no, not now, just wait, they introduce 2 big things every year. So we’ll see what happens on Photokina this september.
