There is nothing wrong with this camera. Perhaps top notch craftsmanship, finish and performance.
In the sea of 12 years of all the same look and approach across hundreds of DSLRs that even Pentax followed, finally a refreshment.
If lacking video, this doesn't mean this is made for film guys; we forget that video is a relatively recent addition and I see this camera to take best from simplicity of analog cameras and convenience of early digital SLRs.
It will have its audience. Pity Ricoh Imaging didn't investigate something similar but rather insisted that constant company name changes are more important news to work on. It is to their own loss.
I presume lots of guys here will try to sketch this as irrelevant and boring, but many of them would sell their own mothers if this was a Pentax branded digital SLR camera, uncomplicated and made to look like a true Pentax classic.
