Specs of the new Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera

Valentín Sama, who needs no further introduction, has posted in his tweeter account some specs of the new mirroless Pentax camera:

The new CSC from Pentax will use the classic "K" mount compatible with their current lenses of their reflex. It won't have optical viewfinder.

And then:

The new CSC from Pentax will be a bit smaller than a Kr, and it is not sure it will -immediately- win a beauty contest.

All in all it seems we have an interesting camera coming, and besides, one that will ensure a very prolonged lifetime for the K mount lenses, regardless of the continuation of standard reflex cameras produced by Pentax.

Besides, Pentaxforums posted a summary of the rumoured specs:
