Pentax is also supposed to be working on a bigger (m43 or APS-C) Milc. However, I suspect that Hoya is a more clever company and sees a profit from a retro system like this, especially in the Japanese market. After all, it will be really small and in the high end P&S market it is a nice little camera. Of course, they also have to price it like a high end P&S. More likely to sell accessories, e.g., lenses, then you would for a P&S,however. I wonder if they will make an adapter for old Pentax glass?
