Thanks to the comments on this forum and Twitter, I was able to release a new version.
I thank a lot of people who gave me comments.

[Change]
- Integrated "SPEC" and "SERIES"
- I narrowed the target to 645 and K mount. (Omit the Q series)
- Color coding with combination of image processing engine and sensor
- Classified APS-C into "Adv", "Mid" and "Entry".
- A prototype of 645D was posted.
* Every generation, 645 was made! Awesome obsession. For the design plan in 2005, B is MZ-S, C is based on * istD.
- I compiled my brothers into one box. (K100D & K110D, K-50 & K-500)
- Organize K200D as a child of K10D
- Designer's models K-01 and K-S1 are categorized into the new category "Design".
- KP was positioned between K-3II and K-70.

Thanks for your comment.
Your comment is correct. I have created two genealogy diagrams. "Series" represents motifs of model names, and "specs" show genealogies of models. That is, "spec" is the main genealogy diagram.
I also think that K100D and K110D are brothers like you are thinking, and this brother is not considered a child of K10D. Also written on the left side of genealogy chart, K100D is on May, K110D is on Aug, K10D is on Nov. It is a child of * istDL2. Manufacturers also answer in an interview as follows. "The basic part is common with *istDL 2"
When writing this brother to the genealogy chart, it may have been good to put it in one square like K - 5 II and K - 5 IIs. (This can also be said for K - 50 and K - 500)
Releases a version that reflects comments received nearby.

Thank you for a wonderful comment.
In order to know the difference between the model compatible with KAF4 and the model which is not so, I organized the model focusing on the imaging engine. So, the sensor was no check.
I added a sensor to the printed lineage chart. Basically it was almost the same as the classification of imaging sensors, but I also found out something new.
As you say, K10D's child is K200D, its grandchildren are K-m. When looking back at the developers interview at the time, he said that "K200D is not a successor to K100D."
ASCII.jp??????????????????K20D???K200D???????????? (1/6)
I would like to make a version reflecting sensor information. However, I am worried whether it will become complicated.

It is an interesting way of thinking. Mathematics!
I figured, is that what you say?

Thank you. I am pleased to receive comments that accurately pointed out my troubles.
I am also worrying about the positioning of KP and K-01. In fact, in the past version these treatments are changing every time. In this version, I refer to the price range of Japan. (K-01 is entries, KP is the same price as K-3II.)
As I also believe that K-S2, K-70, KP will be in sequence as a genealogy, I can connect with the line in the table of "SPEC".
Mark Newson called K - 01 "photography equipment for semi - professional applications clearly used". Even in that sense, I think that the positioning of K-01 is one class with one piece.
I heard that K-3II was a K-1 test machine. With GPS instead of loading a flash, pixel shifting, etc. K - 3 II has the same features as K - 1. So, I think that the successor to K-3 II is K-1, and that the successor in the price range is KP.
Should I return the positioning of KP and K-01 to the old version I attached?

At first, I thought that there was no law as you said.
However, when I was making the table of SPEC,
I realized that there was a motif of name on the film camera,
and I made a table of SERIES.

Thank you for your comment.
I released the first version of this article on January 25th.
After that, we have further thought and it is now the current version.

I was interested in the history of PENTAX DSLR. So, I made a genealogy diagram.
There are two viewpoint, one on the series, the other on the spec.
- FAN MADE PENTAX DSLR GENEALOGY: SERIES
- FAN MADE PENTAX DSLR GENEALOGY: SPEC
The series viewpoint, I also explained the series of film cameras that became the motif of the series.
ex) The motifs of K2000, K-m, K-x, K-r are K1000, KM, KX, K2.
I think the name K2000 has two meanings, Kdigital's second generation series and K1000 a motif.
Also, K-r would have changed the number "2" to "r”.
The series spec viewpoint, I organized it according to the following rules.
- The base color represents the generations of the imaging engine.
ex) K10D, K20D, K200D, K-m are the same generation of PRIME.
- Arrows represent genealogies, annotations represent improvement points.
ex) Successor of K-m is K-x, changes to Sony sensor and order color
- The lower left number represents the firmware number.
It is a unique number given for each firmware of each model.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If my idea is correct, it will be as follows.
- The countdown started from K-7 ended with K-1.
- Genealogies starting from K-01 (MZ series motif) also ended with K-70.
Therefore, I have no idea what the naming convention of the future Pentax camera will be.
However, by making these genealogy diagram,
I was able to establish some predictions about what will happen in the future.
- There may be 645 successive models next year or the next year.
- The successor of KP may eventually become the successor of K-3ii.
※ If S1, S2, SP is a motif, KPII based on SPII may be released.
- Variable angle machine which cut out function from K-70 may become an entry model.
※ However, it may be good to continue selling K-S2 for a while.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the future, I would like to increase the these degree of completion.
I'm happy if you can comment on this thread.
- Do you know the firmware number of the following models?
KP, K-50P, K-30P, 645D, K-XW, K-7W, K-7IR, K200D-W, K20D-W, K100 Super
- Do you know the version of Milbaut that will be the basis of PRIME MII and PRIME IV?
Best Regards.

Thank you very much, ABel. I'm all ready for this dangerous experimentation.

Does this firmware version 1.10 work in K-01(214)?
Not only K-30(215) ,K-50(222) and K-500(223) but also K-01 can be felt as brothers.
