  • New stuff

    • New optical viewfinder, featuring a redesigned pentaprism made of high-refraction glass “that has never been used in a camera before.”
    • Improved body design and grip
    • Optimized control system, with an AF selection joystick and larger buttons than the KP
    • Newly-developed “smooth action shutter unit” with a very “light and smooth” action.
    • Large LCD panel on the top plate
    • Brand new sensor and image processor that promise improved image quality across the ISO range, but especially at high ISO. Minimum ISO will be 100.

  • Inside Pentax situation is horrible, whole company can close even before September (or sold or restructured with big cuts).
