They do not need to develop everything from scratch, they have useful experience from at least 4 different systems.
Pentax Q - A complete mirrorless system where alot of the design can be up scaled to larger formats.
Ricoh GXR - A large sensor mirrorless system
Pentax K - K01 and DSLRs with LV have already the basic tech needed for large sensor MILC.
Ricoh GR - Large sensor mirrorless camera with fixed lens.
They might not offer the most advanced or highest performance mirrorless at the first try. But Ricoh/Pentax can offer something more important IMO, cameras designed for photographers, instead of high tech toys designed for geeks like some other brands tend to do. Cameras with impressive spec sheets, but frustrating to use.
