Perhaps. Pentax has the KP. People can want and want and want a K3III, but that won't mean very much to Ricoh.
So why not take a realistic view, and look out for a KP successor, that won't neccessarily have to be a sort of KPII, but may also merge some of the K3 design into it.
Ricoh won't happily give all the eager ones a K3III, and leave the KP's on the shelf. Their user base is erroding as it is.
So I would say: open a new thread: the KP successor. What do you want to see in it, when would it realistically appear (when will the KP phase out?).
There is only room for one high end APSC camera with current Pentax/Ricoh.
All other stuff is desire, wishfull thinking, and a lot of fairy dust.
