Sales of the new camera using the same components. It's like repackaging the existing product, adding one major element, and selling it again. It'll be covered in media and would attract people that already forgot k-1 existed.

Now if they had gone USB 3.0, bigger buffer, faster FPS, then yeah I could see that potentially pulling in some cross-shoppers from other brands.
I'm usually pretty upbeat on Ricoh but this has fail written all over it. I really hope they have other stuff in the bag.
But even in this thread some people showed interest, and it's not a huge sample size. I'd say exposure in major publications would attract attention
