Yes, that is just what they said they would do. Pentax for DSLRs, Ricoh for compacts.

It would be interesting to see how a replacement for the MX-1 fitted into that!
Best regards, John

IIRC Didn't they say something along the lines of compacts for Ricoh and existing lines for Pentax (DSLR?) New tech for Ricoh?
Wonder if that means high end compact and maybe future mirrorles?
Would love a Gr with a fastish zoom (maybe a collapsible 20-40mm F2.8-4) and a big hotshoe EVF

According to another site, the Pentax MX-1 is being discontinued, at least in the US. As you hint at John, it is difficult to picture a replacement although Ricoh compacts are quite special in themselves.

I read it that way too Do they test every camera before it's sold or take the Microsoft route and leave it to the public to test the product
