As a fellow Pentax user, what compact camera like this would you recommend?
Depending on your definition of pocketable, the K-r with a DA40/2.8 is surprisingly trim and capable. By pocketable, it will easily fit in cargo pockets or jacket pockets.
In that realm I recently bought an Olympus TG-4. On paper it looked very nice, small, waterproof, capable of doing both stills and video, and could produce raw files.
Unfortunately the video shut off after 21 minutes, rendering it useless for the things I wanted video for, and despite the zoom being f/2 at the wide end, it really rather sucked in even moderately low light. I returned it within a week.
