As much as it would be awesome to get some idea of features in the K-new, it's just as important to know what the companies vision/direction is regarding PENTAX in general. Will it be APS-C, FF and Medium Format going forward? Are they planning on making another stab at mirrorless (like the K-01), an ultra compact new series Q style camera? Either way, It's nice to see that there is a plan for the future or they wouldn't be making this video

I doubt they would say anything about mirrorless plans in K-Mount on the eve of the introduction of a high end K-Mount SLR.
I find Q nearly as unlikely, as that whole market seems to have evaporated.
If it’s mirrorless, it would have to be medium format, and even then, I doubt it. Not so close to the K-new.

That said, there’s nothing stopping them from saying “future medium format cameras will be awesome” without saying anything about mirrors or their absence...

As far as I know, this video is more about Pentax value ，not a video about new products.

So, it's about Ricoh long term plans for Pentax. Good. Hope they stress Leading and Excellence.

So are we getting Twin Pentaxes (ideally FF and 645?) or just Peak Pentax (Performance)?

Let's get back to this! I'll now expect nothing less than something truly transcendental.
