I think I'd rather have a body that is more compact, with fewer things to fail on it, that also offers a really nice tethering app over Bluetooth. I can position my phone anywhere relative to the camera body for those times I want to do something like on-ground macro or whatever it is that the flippy screen would help me do.
That makes us two. The fact new K-new doesn't seem to come with an articulated screen gives some hope - a look at Pentax' previous efforts on the software front takes that hope away, perhaps.


I still think they have to do something novel, a few percents marginal gains in sensor performance and AF will not turn many heads these days.

The first "solid" rumour on this thread yet! Thanks for sharing.
It's more a certainty than a rumour. How could one imagine Ricoh NOT providing any additional information about the KNEW at CP+?

I visited the Ricoh Imaging Square in Shinjuku on the 8th of January just before I left Japan and was told to expect more information about the new camera at CP+ in Yokohama. It's on 27 Feb 2020.
OK!

You're welcome! I hope it's more than simply showing off the prototype again.

As an obliquely related item...
I’ve noticed embargoed dates from Canon and Nikon falling as DPR puts up reviews and news. I know some of those things are left from CES, but I expect some are releases in advance of CP+

So I wonder what Ricoh’s strategy will be... an early release or two or holding off until the event itself... or a little of each...

For architectural and landscape-type images, I lift the camera to my eye only after I have figured everything out - perspective, framing, unintended objects, etc. In that situation it does work. My wife always has reading material with her, because she knows that a "5 minute photo stop" is like the last five minutes of an American football game - it can stretch to 30 minutes.
There is one good solution to this problem: you should buy a camera for your wife. It will be best if you make her a nice surprise and buy her, for example, a new model DSLR of the brand, which is VERY LOW POPULAR but VERY GOOD... Well, I forgot the name of this brand

If OOKUs quote of weibo is a hint the K-new will appear on 27.02.2020.
The weird part there is that it a sequence with K-1, K-1II.

Clearly, we are gonna be hit with the switcheroo and get a surprise K-1iii in February and the K-new in summer.


I'm joking don't start circulating this as a rumor please

K-New's launching will provide new hope to us I'm sure. Everyone seem to be excited about it. Well, not everyone I guess.

If Pentax would be able to have second cmos for af it would be a killer feature. Eye-AF in viewfinder mode. The only real thing a mirrorless provides for me.
I do not expect that, but I hope for it.

I know, but I dislike the position of the index finger wheel.
