As you know there always have been rumors about two different Mirrorless systems coming from Pentax. The first was the Pentax Q with tiny sensors. According to Quesabesde (Click here) there is a good chance that soon pentax will announce the second mirrorless system with ASP-C sensor. This is a bit a suprirsing news because after the beeing acquired by Ricoh most would have expected that a direct Ricoh GRX competition would no more come from the Pentax division.

Pentax DO IT! you will have the best APS-C sony’s sensor and pentax DA pancake lens!!! it is the best combination my brain can imagine!!!!
just do it pentax!
Sony and Samsung has done it. All brands please do it. Be it Pentax, Ricoh, Fujifilm or Sigma. We need competetion among you guys to drive a healthy market. Hoping that the day will come that compact with APSC sensors will be the norm in market.
APS-C mirrorless isn’t what I’d call GXR-competition. And they can’t use K-mount unless they want to waste a lot of space. Even making it K-mount compatible with adapter and full AF-support wont be easy.
Isn’t this speculation, not news, or even rumor. Pentax did what they weren’t supposed to when they announced the Q, How could they push yet another mount out with different lenses unless it was using K–mount lenses and that would not be technologically wise. I really hoped Pentax were THE company to make ergonomically good weatherproof large sensor mirrorless, but they didn’t deliver what they were expected. Now me personally wait for Canon to make their APS-H semiprofessional mirrorless.
ricoh will allow the hard work by pentax engineers to be seen, no way they will kill anything innovative , if its in the pipeline then it will see the light of day. ricoh is an amazing camera company, they make machines that appeal to and delight pros …and their interface and controls are models of logical design and elegance. , unlike the corporate rapist hoya, pentax will be allowed to blossom , the great pentax tradition will be nutured by ricoh
together a great camera future awaits , and if any pentax fanboys are unhappy
with the acquisition, then they need to do a little homework regarding the differences between ricoh and hoya.
