  • Compare all rumours

    Using Google Trends, I tried to see the impact of what I thought were the most notable rumours in preparation of the next PMA fair in March. Was I in for a surprise! Pentax does not even score on the graph for the Pentax K30D… Visibly, the Nikon D400 is considered more worth of rumours…
