Pentax K-3 leaked: Is Pentax finally getting serious about video?

Images of the new K-3 have been leaked and it looks like they've added some useful video controls to the camera. There's a separate switch between stills and video so while in video mode it looks like you use the mode dial to switch from P to Av, Tv, Mv and TAv modes. There's also a headphone jack to monitor audio.

And most intriguingly, the leaked specs suggest 14bit RAW output.

We'll have to wait and see if these specs pan out, but that would be pretty cool for those of us with Pentax lenses in our bag...
