New information about new flagship's selling date

The “happy conspiracy” part of my brain is assuming the lens was released first to make the camera news in February more impactful.

The “sad conspiracy” part of my brain wants to say the camera is late, but I’m not listening...

I think we’ll have official news soon.

The DPR-level conspiracy is that Ricoh Imaging announced the Tamron rebadge so they'd just get everything done for the entire year - or rather decade

(Obviously the camera doesn't exist, everyone claiming seeing it was an actor paid by NASA... wait, those are the so-called Australians...)

Only 23 more days until CP+! Hopefully Ricoh spills all the K-new beans around that time.

I'm getting paid by NASA! Woohoo!

Time to imagine retiring on my imaginary income.

John Lennon could have written a song about it: “Imagine there’s no {insert your least favourite camera brand here}, It’s easy if you try.”

Perhaps that's what they're doing at Ricoh?

The early photos show that the screen is fixed...like myK5II.
Now in todays era, when almost every new camera has a swivel screen that even turn backwards for a selfie..what is Pentax's logic in going back to stoneage?
Also .. fans seem to forgive any blunder Pentax will do!!

Ask Nikon why they went back to the stone age with the new flagship D6 (and the D5 and D4 before that). Ask Canon why they went back to the stone age with their recent flagship EOS-1D X Mark III (and on the 5D and 6D series, too).

Maybe fixed screens are more common than you think on higher-end cameras.

If Ricoh/Pentax designed it without an articulated screen then MAYBE its not a blunder in their minds

The tilt screen feature is related to design intent of camera. Sport/wildlife shooting doesn't require movable screen, landscape and macro does. Design intent is rarely communicated my camera manufacturers, they assume that customers select the right type of camera based on shooting needs. Anyone could buy a 1dx for landscape photography and complain about the size, lack of resolution and look lack of tilt screen. Anyone could buy a K1 for sports and complain about lack of speed, buffer and size of files.
