Pentax K7 to be released in Japan on June 27

If the computer-translation interpretation is correct, the Pentax K7 will be released in Japan on June 27 according to DCWatch. This includes the two WR kit-lenses and the D-BG4 grip. The Japanese date is typically an indicator, although not always guaranteed to predict the approximate release of a camera in other markets.

As far as the US market, both Amazon and Adorama continue to show it in pre-order status without a specific shipping date.

We'll have a new K7 catch-up-a-thon roundup after the wave of the Olympus E-P1 announcement and initial reactions subsides.
