Dear Pentax Ricoh,
Can you make two mirrorless cameras: 1. Pentax K-02 with 16 to 20 megapixel copper wiring back side illuminated APS-C CMOS chip (with very good high ISO abilities) and 3 to 5 axis stabilization. A better grip, a EVF, wi-fi ,and no rubber flaps used to close compartments. Improved auto focus, focus peaking, focus tracking and select point(s) auto focus. 2. A Pentax mirrorless Full Frame between 16 to 22 megapixels copper wiring Backside Illuminated CMOS chip and 5 axis stabilization. More auto focus points than the K-02, wireless flash capabilities, wi-fi, great high ISO abilities, and the other features of the K-02. I would not want you to make a new mount for these cameras but use the k mount. The three biggest problems with the K-01 in my opinion were: It was not properly advertised/promoted. The fact that the K-01 was a mirrorless camera that used DSLR lenses without having to use a adapter was revolutionary. Pentax has a reasonable amount of small lenses that worked well with it from the DA 15 to the DA 18-135 mm lens and small legacy lenses. The camera is a compact size for a camera that has in body stabilization and a APS-C sensor. 2. the K-01 needed a EVF. Most Pentax users are used to using a OVF, so having a camera with no view finder was a deal breaker. 3. The starting price of the K-01 was too much for what the camera offered. The K-01 also needed to have the public events at camera events and camera stores (like you are going with the K-1) so people can hold the camera and get a feel for it. Just my 2 cents.
