Originally posted by Shupienis And Ricoh, don't cheap out! Make the new camera a tool marketed for professionals and advanced prosumers. The big, heavy Nikon Z series is the target. I'd gladly sell my eyeteeth to pay K-3iii money for such a beast if it would mount and work with all my prized Pentax lenses! (And keep the K-0# numbering scheme for the MILCs. K-02 full frame and K-03 APS-C makes perfect sense.)
I hope they do, but fear they won't... K2 for FF K-mount MILC and K4 for K-mount MILC APSC would be more logical. K1 and K3 remain DSLR-series. But a boost in investments and marketing will be needed to make a success of it. Not only in cameras but also in lenses. I would buy such a K2 for about 3k in a minute when it offers A/Z/R functionality.
