Sigma has announced the 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM lens for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax and Sigma mounts.
Sigma Press Release
The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM. This large aperture standard zoom lens offers an aperture of F2.8 at the 17mm focal length and is ideal for many situations such as portraits, sports, macro and general photography.
The OS (Optical Stabilizer) function offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. For Sony and Pentax mount, the built-in OS function of this lens can be used even if the camera body is equipped with an anti-shake function. As the compensation for camera shake is visible in the view finder, the photographer can easily check for accurate focus and ensure there is no subject movement.
The maximum aperture of F2.8 produces an attractive background blur and improves autofocus speed.This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 22cm(8.7in.) throughout the entire zoom range and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7, making it ideal for close-up photography. It is possible to focus as close as approximately 4.7cm(1.9in.) from the tip of the lens to the subject making this lens particularly useful for close-up photography.
Three aspherical lenses and one ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass element provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides high contrast images. The incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet and high speed AF.
This lens has a rounded 7 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. The inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using the supplied petal-type lens hood and circular polarizing filters.

Olympus E-620 SLR Digital Camera with 14-42mm & 40-150mm Zoom Lenses for only $719.95
The Olympus Evolt E-620 SLR Digital Camera with 14-42mm & 40-150mm Zoom Lenses is the most compact DSLR in its class with integrated sensor-shift image stabilization. Designed for beginning and advanced photographers conscious of size, the E-620 is packed with features once found only in bulkier, heavier models.
The high resolution Live-MOS image sensor combined with the TruePic III+ processing provides brilliant color and quality for true-to-life skin tones, brilliant blue skies, and fine detail. A flip-out 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD enables images to be beautifully displayed in vivid color from wide 176-degree viewing angles or even under bright sunlight. Autofocus Live View provides users with the choice of framing images through the viewfinder or on the LCD. Because the display flips out and swivels, composing subjects from above, below or at any odd angle is fun and easy.

There is more concrete first rumors of the next cameras from Pentaks.
K30D:
- CMOS-sensor format to APS-H. Crop 1.3
- 14 megapixel, like the current K20D. Ie no increase in megapixel at the expense of other possibilities, in particular:
- Better autofocus and auto sensitivity control, AF-assist lamp
- 3.5 frames per second at 14MP and 6.5 frames per second in 6 megapixel
K300D:
- CMOS-sensor from Samsung.
Of course, it may be only a rumor. Future K-30D is much written in recent months, even before the announcement of K-m. This is the first in a hearing, but still no confirmation by the Pentaks.
At the same time, with K30D fabrics also include several new lenses: 16-45/4 II SDM FA28/2.8 II, FA35/2 II SDM， FA50/1.4 II SDM， FA85/1.8 SDM
