Even Nikon has stopped producing their "Masterpiece" F6 in the end of 2020. What can Pentax offer as a better or more successful camera than a F6?

The F6 was a large and heavy pro SLR. The new Pentax camera most likely will be "something completely different" – smaller, lighter and more elegant to appeal to wealthy hobbyists who prefer an SLR to a rangefinder and aren't enamored with the red circle.

Didn't they say they'd start with a compact?

Yes, first a compact for young consumers, then an SLR for older people with deeper pockets.

There are quite a few people buying out there in this category. It's kind of funny that Pentax's new SLR, if they make one, would compete with some of the still going K1000's out there.

That is why it must be different enough to justify the price difference. I think it should be an ultra modern camera in retro style, not a re-issue of some old mechanical model.
