This seems to be another case of the more you have, the less happy you are.
Ricoh doesn’t seem to be giving Pentax the unlimited resources required to
build a world class system in a hurry, and at this point, they need to be
fleshing out some sort of prime lens system more than new cameras.
We’ll get out K1 replacement, but I expect it won’t happen until they can
plunk a 50mp sensor into it and not have it cost $3k or more.
As for the K3 replacement, it’s quite possible that Ricoh has decided that
high end APS-C is now a dead end and will continue with lower end bodies,
or perhaps go mirrorless with that format while concentrating their
flagship efforts on the 35mm format.
Looks to me like Ricoh maybe has no more of a clue about what it's doing
than we do.
