Previously we reported on the blurry sneak pictures of Pentax's supposed upcoming high-end dSLR, the rumored K7D. Now, the Japanese company is teasing consumers with a countdown banner on its Web site.

Come May 20, a new Pentax K series dSLR will be unveiled. The specifications are unknown, but the online forums are speculating that this pro-level model will have a high-resolution sensor and presumably a weather-resistant body. It's anyone guess whether the Pentax is a full-frame model or not, but if it does it'll probably be competing with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D700.

If you're a Pentax fan, mark your calendar for May 20. You can also check out the site to see how much time is left before the company unveils its mystery surprise.
