Hope Sigma gonna regret their choise, not to produce K-mount lenses. Because i think this camera will be a killer.
Price ? any gueses?

This looks brilliant, a hybrid of a K-3, a K-1 and a KP. Joystick means maybe a new bigger badder AF array? My guess its going to be around 1300 to 1500 when it comes out, similar in price to an XT-3 or a 7dmk2.

Five pages of discussion already, and almost all of it positive and up-beat. This is better than the news itself (which, I'll admit, is pretty darned exciting)...

While there are clearly some visible external compromises, I can't wait to see what's actually inside this beast!

Do any DSLR bodies have slots for only the Micro SD cards?

If it's a wooden/non-working prototype it might not show the flippy screen.
Let us remain calm and collected.

Oh who am I kidding this thing looks sweet, the third dial is here to stay (YES!!) and I really wanna know what the new toys are. Also, I'm dying with the misdirection of Ricoh announcing the camera the LAST DAY OF SUMMER.

Might this be shopped image of a k3? Considering the K3 II was the last pentax camera with a fixed lcd, i am pretty sure this one is gonna have some sort of articulated lcd - preferably the one in th K1 series. Fingers crossed.

Not that I know of, even the very small Olympus Pen cameras use normal SDs.

There's something interesting going on inside that mirror box....

Sweeeeeet.....

Sandy Hancock · 09-19-2019, 11:15 PM

Soft key top left also looks interesting.

**Serkevan** · 09-19-2019, 11:15 PM

Wait wait wait, the third dial isn't a third dial but the video/LV selector? That... would be a terrible idea. Let's see what it has once they talk about it in a couple days.

Also the VF is *yellow*. I've never seen mine look yellow. Get hype for the hybrid finder!

Sigma is in the L mount alliance. I think they have bigger concerns than whether to sell K mount lenses or not...
