What camera will Pentax make next?

The options are:

1. K1 III- take the K3 III and put in a FF sensor, pretty obvious choice for Pentax

2. K70 successor- unlikely, not much money to be made there

3. KP II- more midrange than K3 III, no dual card slots etc. I think they might go for a more retro-inspired camera so that it doesn't compete with K 3 III too much. Personally I'd buy one. However, given their pace in development we can expect it somewhere around 2027

IMHO--

Re Thread title: if they do, they still won't call it that.

Opt 1 is still the most likely next thing.

I still rather believe asahi man's projection of 2 APSCs, 2FF

For the lower end APS-C, you have to remember the Japanese  market (the market they made all those wild colored KS~ models for). There is money to be made there.
