I didn't hear anyone say the sky is falling. I think it's natural to want something over and above what is currently available. The rumored K-1 seems like it's just the 'over' part, a backwards lateral, so to speak. If I was in the market for an EVIL camera (aside from NEX-7) and had a bunch of K-mount lenses, then it could be interesting, but not if I already had a K-7 or K-5. It's exactly why the NEX-7 pushes my buttons and this this does not. I don't believe the K-1 sounds like it'll be pocket-able... unless overalls pocket and a pancake lens maybe. But then I don't think these are intended as pocket-able, simply smaller.
