Interesting sample! about 1/3 of us think the camera is named either the K-3III, K-2, K-C, or K-New (that was a joke guys.. haha).
About 2/3 of us think it will be something else.
Obligatory pie chart:
I'm still leaning K-3 Mark III.

K-1 denotes their "flagship" full-frame models. In truth their only current full-frame but who's quibbling.
K-3 identifies their "flagship" APS-C models.
The other non-flagship cameras fill out the offerings, even if very capable in their own rights.

That would make sense really.
My K-5 says Hoya Corporation.
The K-3 is a full Ricoh product.

So as you propose, K-1 for FF and K-3 for crop.

I feel a reason the K-1 II was pushed so soon after the K1 I was that they are gearing towards a release of a K-1 III along with a K-3 III they'd share similar marketing/branding..., and maybe even a 645 III or Q III. ... maybe it will be the 3 III's: K-1, K-3, 645. (Q seems unlikely)

In English speaking countries it will be called the Pentax IYFM! IYFM! stands for "In Your Face Mirrorless! "


Not sure how that works out in other languages.

I will be surprised if the final product becomes available before a successful covid 19 vaccine is announced, but maybe I am wrong. Some people are still traveling though within a reduced range. In addition, photography could serve yet more than usual as a comforting distraction during difficult times. OTOH, if announced soon after the emergence of an effective vaccine, buying such a very advanced and outstanding new camera could be seen as an attractive way to celebrate!

I don't think it will be K-3 III. The K-3 II was named so because it is still essentially a K-3 but with upgrades- same with the K-5 II. As represented, and after taking such a lengthy period of time, the new camera will evidently be a completely new design.

No doubt whatever Pentax produce for their new flagship APS-C DSLR, there will be a few Pentaxians who think it's a heaven-sent jewel, some who moan about it as usual, along with many who find it to be a reasonable upgrade from their current gear. So perhaps it will be just "OK".
