Why mirrorless?

Biro · 12-04-2013, 01:12 PM

I hope, outside of the Q, that Pentax hasn't given up on mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras. Actually, seeing what some other companies have done with mirrorless APS-C cameras (Sony NEX, Fuji XE-1, X-M1 and X-A1), I think Pentax could rework the K-01 concept into something more compact and every bit as competitive as the competition - even while retaining the K-mount. But I'd want a viewfinder - either built in or as an add-on option.

A bigger APS-c version (with some extra controls) of the original Q would be wonderful! It would be one of the most handsome mirrorless out there too.

I support mirror-less cameras... but in the same time I love a nice big optical viewfinder... in the end I think I'll have both.
I love my K-01 and MX-1 (and I guess soon to come my Q) but I DO lust for an FF and its big and bright viewfinder
