Mirrorless answer in that shape and very similar size is possible.
But still, I think users are forgetting that there are more important matters Ricoh Imaging must answer before.
How I see it: we have the K-3, and that is the only
really new achievement done that proves a notion Ricoh may be working on Pentax range. But true commitment is proven in new lenses. Why are they hiding new lens designs from public and are releasing rehashes of those we already have?
I don't approve of it. More than lack of any other camera than the K-3, to me, lack of new lenses and TC for the K-mount is unnerving, and I refuse to believe that there's isn't anything suspicious about releasing a milestone new camera … accompanied by a rehashed, boring consumer zoom?
I mean, for Goodness sake, wasn't there a reason to celebrate a bit more and raise the expectations at least by one more notch ?!?! I've never seen a more bland announcement, with only an official, impersonal quote sent by email by some representative from the USA. No PR event of any kind, even from some office in Tokyo and broadcast online? They've put a good one for the new GR though.
