I think the eventual release of K1-III will be an interesting test. Canon supplies dwindling, Nikon perhaps still producing a few aging models, and Pentax with the only new or even recent product release. All eyes on that OVF.

I am afraid that Pentax, in that situation, dare to take an outrageously high price. They already have done that with K-3 III. It was, when it came out, the most expensive APS-C DSLR for many years. This kind of pricing for K-1 III will, in that case, make the test skewed.

And NOTE - even if the AF quality step for K-3 III was gigantic, it still was not on par with Canon and Nikon OVF.

To offer the camera everyone is expecting, a fair price is going to be a relatively high price. A division already felt to be underperforming will need to generate a return. It will likely be directed toward a group of people looking for specific characteristics for a specific shooting style centered on the use of an OVF. At this point directing competition at MILC is probably futile, and in any event, a large subset of targeted users have already incorporated MILC into their gear. If necessary pricing is going to be seen as outrageous, and/or the products seen as not yet on par with old Canon and Nikon units it is probably best to just stop now.
