Pentax Mirrorless APS-C in September

[bwcolor]

This camera has been mentioned before, but this seems to be a Pentax representative saying that a camera is coming. I think that the rest of the information may be speculation.

Pentax Mirrorless


It is time to start lusting after another camera now that the X100 is slowly being delivered.

I'll be buying one if it has AF, K mount (35mm) lens mounting (even with an adapter), too bad they don't provide a sister for the ones that want it, a FF mirrorless.

Pentax appears to be the quiet achiever ... the K-5 seems to be a very good camera.

Mirrorless cameras here we come ... the DSLR may become a thing of the past in the reasonably near future, just like the rangefinder! 😛

it wouldnt surprise me if they do, or if it's the best mirrorless so far. Pentax does most things right, except for deciding against a FF DSLR.

Apparently there's two coming - a digital 110 clone and a mirrorless digital with aps-c sensor.

If the aps-c sensor one is K mount It'll be awesome. They already have the great Da* lenses and they're tiny and good! And it'll be almost a full system straight off..

fdigital, IMHO there isn't much point to make a mirrorless camera with an SLRmount, as anyone can make one by just disabling a mirror in a live view capable camera...
I'm still sure that they will make an adaptor with some electronic support for the K-mount, and that Cosina and Novoflex will make a "dumb" one for every other SLR mount.
