Originally posted by Smolk I wouldn't like an online presence only. I've had a hard time finding a place where I could feel and try the DA* 2.8/16-50mm PLM (partly because of a lack of dealers, last few weeks more due to a lockdown that has just ended). My local (big) shop doesn't stock Pentax. But there's no other way to try things out - and there are no Pentax meetings either. I also want to try the new 21mm. I need a physical presence in some sort of way. Only when you already know what you want, online buying makes sense.
I am assuming that ‘mall’ doesn't imply an Apple-like store - just a mistranslation for an online shop?

Ditto. It's why I wouldn't buy a KP with interchangeable grips without trying them all out first. I'm not buying something expensive that I'm not sure about.
I would be fine if Pentax sold a camera like a GR, K-3, etc. with the same form factor every time (like a Sony A6XXX) but with different specs as options.
Full frame or APS-C.
Flip down screen, side hinge screen, flip up screen, no flip screen.
Pop-up flash, no pop-up flash.
GPS ... interchangeable grips ... choose your kit lens ... FPS ... buffer size.
