Re: Will Pentax make a KP II?

Hello MaciekPruski

A KP II with a bigger buffer would be nice.

In principle, I do not know which way Pentax will go.

For the patern recognition (like a face or eye or anything else), Pentax use the RGB sensor, and for focusing the Phase AF module.

Now the more resolution this RGB sensor has, the more it can recognice, but the Phase AF module must still has an AF point over the object, where the RGB sensor did recognise the object. So, Pentax could use more and more AF points in the cameras, combined with a high resolution RGB sensor - Or start to let the RGB sensor AF in regions, where the Phase AF modul has no AF point over the object. Maybe in the future, this RGB sensors are little own 'mobile' sensors.

Sony tried an other way, it use a little translucent mirror for to project the scene not to an RGB sensor, it used the APS-C itself sensor for it. Sony did give up this idea, and went to mirrorless.

Who knows, how fare Pentax can go with the getting better and better RGB sensors in the future. And that is, what I would like to see in new cameras, even when I had to wait for them.

best regards. KPM2
