We already mentioned the parallel Pentax K-5 leaks, but now there is a revision to the rumors. The admin of the Pentaxforums.com forums has received revised rumors from a "credible source" saying that the camera will have 11-autofocus points, not the 18 in the previous rumor. The PFF rumor also mentions 7-8fps burst mode, but more importantly promises improvements in low-light autofocusing which was one of the major beefs with the K-7 for some of the disappointed.
The rumor is further discussed in the PentaxForums News & Rumors sub-forum.
