Originally posted by Biro Pentax, at one time, offered three current APS-C cameras. So it's not impossible for them to do it again. But here's a thought: What if the K-70 is truly beefed up over the K-50 and becomes the K-3 replacement with the K-S line taking over the K-50's position? I'm sure I'm over thinking this. But what are they going to call the next premium APS-C camera? K-1 is taken.
Well, they have 5 right now (K-50, K-3, K-3 II, K-S1, K-S2) so I wouldn't want to see a downgrade
Since the K-50 is out of production at the moment and is turning 3 years old (base hardware 4 years old), it would make sense for an updated model to replace it.
If they registered it with a radio agency then one thing is for sure: it'll have Wi-Fi.
As for market placement, it would still make sense to have entry-level, upper entry-level, mid-range, and advanced offerings. I do agree, however, that it might be worthwhile for Pentax to make an even higher specced APS-C model than the K-3 primarily for those who want to shoot action.
