Well, *IF* I was running Pentax (and yes, I know I'm not), what actual customers who bought previous models had to say about them would be "my" starting point for developing new models and for improving older ones. What did "we" get right? What did "we" get wrong? What do the customers say

I don't expect Pentax to be releasing mirrorless cameras rivaling Sony's or anyones for that matter. Or I don't expect them to produce a camera aimed at the professional sports photographer market. But their particular niche, which I would say is aspiring amateur photographers that like small
