Regarding the naming question,

K-x -> K-r -> (skip KQ) -> KP -> (skip KO) -> KN

(Yes, I'm glossing over the K-S1/2, but that's justified as Ricoh said at the time that it's a new model line, not a direct replacement of the K-50.)

So they can call it the KN and then in marketing materials let the N stand for New.

K-x, K-r, KP are amateur line of cameras...

K-new is top APS-C - K-7, K-5, K-3....

So please share with us, Dr. Logic, which number is next?

Why K-1 of course... the flagship they thought would replace the K-3.
