a few simple features to k-01 would not have hurt the bottom line.... sitting a niche all by itself, on store shelves until the price was slashed 70% is not a good strategy...
a live uncompressed hdmi out, focus peaking while recording, optional battery grip and more video codecs (including the old one from the k-5) would not have hurt sales.....
but.. ricoh has sold rebranded sony camcorders in the past, so maybe a nex vg30 with a kmount and pentax battery, is not impossible?
