They were either very good Photoshop creations, or a MZ-D with a "factory" K1D silk screen job. Pentax has been leaking quite a bit more now than in the past. I think these leaks are intentional, it helps build buzz. I didn't think that the K1D was an actual Pentax plant at the time but I've been leaning towards that now. I expect that the "Professional level" camera above the K10/K20 in the K mount camera line will be the K2D, if and when it's released. ============= I sort of agree.
I think they probably had a mock up or close to making one, almost a complete design, which they scrapped. The plans were so long ago. And I don't think, at that point, that had anticipated changing sensors. Technology moves fast.
