I doubt there'll be a KPii.

I'm of the opinion that the KP was a design exercise, a good effort at making an (almost) grip-less camera and a test-bed for upcoming technologies. I seem to remember reading "somewhere" that the KP was discontinued, in part at least, due to component shortages.

I'd bet on the next APS-C being a K-70ii, maybe K-70p, effectively a K-70 body, with a flash, articulated screen and all, with a KP "innards" for the improved a/f and low-light performance.
