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....

PS--- K7 was a crap box! If that was their Prosumer at the time... then we should all be happy they were able to sell the company.

Yeah, no idea what possessed them to release that - must have been the megapixels.

So then should we call this one the "K-7 Proper"?
