Cotty You confused a bit here. You said you would be interested in
option c mirrorless APC with optical finder then in later msg. you
indicate you have finder-less Fuji you love.??
I have tried the K-01 and do not miss the finder at all. Every review I
have read echos my experience. At the current low price for K-01 they
are selling as fast as they are stocked. That indicates to me it was
slightly over-designed and somewhat overpriced. But lack of a finder did
not keep it from being a success. I am not anti-finder having come from
dlsr tradition from the start and only owned one point and shoot but I
don't get the obsession with finders.

I think you've hit the nail on the head Lar.
To my mind there just isn't a coherent strategy with Pentax's products,
aside perhaps from the flagship DSLRs.
And to take a leaf out of Steve's book, get rid of all the mishmash and
consolidate the cameras into types, then have one camera to fit each
type. Keep it simple!
The MX-1 would be brilliant if it was in this lineup:
A - Full frame DSLR + lens system
B - APSC DSLR + lens system
C - Mirrorless APSC interchangeable lens system (Q with optical
viewfinder) (MX-1 style, bigger)
D - MX-1
E - smaller pocketable point n shoot
and er that's it
I'd be looking at C
