Seems odd that on the eve of the announcement of new APS-C body with advanced sensor and AF tech all you can moan about is "not to be"? Are you under NDA and cannot tell us what is happening?
For once and for all, stóp quoting me to accuse me of moaning. I am nót moaning, I am trying to be realistic.
It looks by all accounts, that the K1 (discontinued), is replaced with the modest upgrade of the K1mkII, and that the K3II (discontinued), is (temporarily at best) replaced with the KP.
No doubt the KP will have a successor in due time following the usual upgrade cycle, so probably next year. It
will be better and perhaps Pentax will bring it up to flagship level in a sort of fuse of the old K3 line and the new KP concept.
Pentax seems to have limited resources under Ricoh, and must have thought a new entry level (K70) - mid level (KP) - high level (K1), made most economic sense. And for a mid level camera, the KP is a pretty fine camera.
This is my opinion, anyone not liking it: skip my posts or come with some realistic arguing why I am so deadly wrong. If your arguments are valid enough to fully believe that Ricoh will come with a K3mkIII in two weeks time, than my babbling will not mean the least to you.
