This scoop was originally posted at digicame-info.com, and the summary posted by Mirrorless Rumors: Pentax is planning to release a new mirrorless camera, with a large sensor (APS-C size, in fact the same used in the Pentax K-5) and based on the K mount.
Not sure what to think of this, since the K mount does not seem to have been optimized for a mirrorless camera; but on the other hand, it would provide compatibility with a huge back catalogue of old and new K-mount lenses, which seems very good news for old Pentax users.
We will see how this unfolds, but anyway, it seems hard to understand that a single brand (Pentax-Ricoh) will keep three mounts running in the current context.
