I wonder then, if we will see a system similar to the old auto110. a compact separate system with a small set of dedicated lenses and accessories. this would be wise in my opinion, as just releasing a body and one or two lenses, will not separate it enough from the current crop of micro 4/3. the big deal with these cameras for a lot of buyers is the ability to mount just about every lens out there, but obviously this does not go very well for sales of lenses, just bodies. Pentax would need to first develop a nice set of dedicated lenses. if they do, it could be a serious threat to the micro 4/3 scene. sounds interesting, and this actually isnt the first time Pentax has had interest in a mirrorless camera, if I remember correctly they have already had a prototype a number of years ago.
I just hope they make the right decisions, as id hate to see them do something rather dumb, like samsung has with the NX. they really need a whole set, and they need to make it small.
I will be interested to hear any more rumors as time goes on. sounds like a neat concept.
