Originally posted by uccemebug So now we know the shape of the first 2011 Pentax MILC. There's a persistent rumour of a second 2011 mirrorless body. What are Pentax's options, then:
1. K-based FF-sized mount with an APS-C sensor
2. A fixed-lens mirrorless APS-C body
3. A new mount based on the APS-C
4. Some form of (high-end?) fixed-lens p&s
Am I alone in thinking that it's this wide open?
(I'm going discount, out of hand, a µ43-based body)
I think none of these :- )
I think it will have the following features:
1) I think a APS-C size sensor.
2) A camera that is about the size of a Kx without the big grip (because they will not use AA's) and and lower because a mirror less does not need the high prism housing.
3) An articulating screen :- )
4) I'm thinking it will be made to use all current K mount lenses.
5) Weather sealed.
I think this will be right up there with the K-5, just mirror less. I'm expecting great video also.
Just my take. A camera like that would be a show stopper.
I don't care that much about a 4/3 size camera, after all Pentax has a small mirror less, the Q.
Now they will go for the throat with this new machine :- )
At least I can dream can't I ......
