I would keep it as a compact with built in zoom.

Copied from For Sale topic for an MX-1.
- bigger sensor,
- faster max. frame rate,
- slightly lighter (I know some like all the the weight),
- better auto white balance in artificial light,
- better low light performance, and
- weather & dust resistance (This could have been a USP in this category).
Any other thoughts?
I forgot to add that i recon it would / could be similar to the Canon G7X Mark 3 (or even the G5X Mk 2 with its EVF)).

The MX-1 shared much of its technology with the Olympus XZ-2 including the sensor and lens. MX-1 development seems to have been dropped when Ricoh took Pentax over soon after the MX-1's release in 2013. There was no successor to the Olympus either so presumably the collaboration ceased.

- hot-shoe
- fast processor
If it follows recent silly naming practice, even though it would be a new camera 7 years on, it would be the Pentax MX-1 Mark II.
