I'm late to this. but I don't see how the K-? stripped down full frame
could lose any features that would make it less expensive. Most of the
fluff is in the software, which would not decrease unit costs for Ricoh
to build. Any actual electronic or mechanical changes such as a smaller
buffer,
I was just goofing. That may be how they do EVF, I don't know.

How is that different than an EVF?

The KP is a thousand dollars and the K-1 is two grand. Given that a
camera in between tham would be around $1500 I'd g

So it's not a screen on the back of the camera? Then I'm okay with it. You have
my permission to proceed. :-). I'm clueless when it comes to mirrorless.

It's called "EVF" or electronic viewfinder. Smaller than a pentaprism.

To that add the problem of no diopter correction. Right? I've never used
mirrorless, but I assume it's approximately the same as live view??

I won't like mirrorless until they invent a way to isolate the LED screen from
ambient light. Of course then the size advantage is gone.

APS-C becoming strictly mirrorless is how I see the future. At least
the near future. Full-frame will become mainl
Sounds like APS-C is going to be strictly an enthusiast line for Pentax. That
would make sense. Or perhaps there's more to come.

It only accepts a single HDXC card.

Well they've "upgraded" the hardware of the user interface but
downgraded a lot of the actual mechanical specifications of the camera
itself. Except for the high ISO limit everything else seems to be
equal or less than the K-3.

I'm sure the photo came from Pentax marketing. Adorama didn't choose the lens.
Why is it a disappointing replacement for the K3? It seems to be a step up in
high ISO capability, and I won't be surprised if the autofocus is excellent.
