(k3) Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount?

September 2, 2009 Pentax rumors 5 Comments

I heard it first one month ago and now photorumors has one more prove of that. Ricoh is working on a mirrorless compact camera (similar to the newly launched Panasonic GF1 ) with K-mount!

That is something that Pentax and Samsung should had done before!

The camera is rumored to be unveiled by end of the year!

I hope it becomes true!

UPDATE: The chance the rumors is true is very good. I received a double confirmation from my sources.

    well if this is true , I hope Ricoh keeps an option to keep a 4;3 ratio on both the lcd and the finder. ricoh is know not to come out with me too cameras
    the 3;2 ratio is the generic standard but 4;3 is much more homethetic for anyone who prints his or her work
