I'm with you, Cotty; I found it fugly as hell. Did they fire the K-3/5/7 designers?
They are in dire straits in this situation between losing customers and potential customers over lack of an upgrade path to a Full! Frame! Sensor! and Osborneing themselves because too many people will forgo buying a K-3, or whatever top end APS camera while waiting for the FF body.
I know that in many industries companies go to great lengths to hide the appearance and features of their new models. I wouldn't be surprised if this mockup was the 1.0 dummy, or they had one of their design interns take bits and pieces, where they could from other body designs, paste them all together and make something that could plausibly be a FF DSLR just so that they'd have something physical to show at CP+.
I would not be at all surprised if the only similarity between this and the final product is the K-mount, and possibly the word Pentax on the front, though I wouldn't bet too heavily on the font.
