This seems especially silly. Using a mirrorless camera with current
lens design accomplishes two things, neither of which is particularly
good. 1.) The camera loses phase detection auto focus, which is still
superior to contrast detection, and 2.) The same flange to sensor
distance is maintained, which makes a large empty space in the camera
adding to it's bulk. You lose one of the major improvements, a compact
body. The only way this is worthwhile is if you assume an electronic
view finder is superior to an optical viewfinder, at the same cost.
Currently that's not true there are trade offs for each approach. Maybe
the EVF is the future, but rushing the future compromises the now.

Mark. You're rushing Pentax. They have to announce a K-3 first, a year later

After the K1 - what then? Dzs?
I vote for DLX (Deluxe), as they move into the mirrorless camera that will use
the current lens design, using a FF sized sensor capable of 36 MB (32 actual),
it's center section built so it supports APS-C lenses at the same resolution as
the FF that surrounds it. Including HD EVF and full tethering support.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
