Pentax was wrong when they said people would come back to DSLRs, because there's no way people come back from MILC AF obviously. But Pentax should really try their best to compete with MILCs, even AF, in order to keep OVFs alive.

I sense Ricoh is looking more to a coexistence, solid cameras appealing to the senses with the OVF and to some sort of emotional satisfaction pushed in their marketing with the principles of photography. A competition with MILC is going to be predominantly metrics driven and a nonstarter. But, with proper subject choice, the resulting images will be indistinguishable, platform agnostic to the viewer. Pentax will happily accept an ongoing coexistence, in the same bag, with an MILC carrying a different logo.

The problem with this approach is that new users would need to be able to try Pentax DSLR before they buy to be able to get convinced of the unique experience.

But it is quite rare to find Pentax DSLR in local camera stores outside Japan.
