The Pentax Q was the company’s first foray into the compact system camera (CSC) market and to say the critical reaction was mixed would be putting it mildly. However it seems this has not put the company off, if leaked images and details of a new mirrorless camera are to be believed.
A Chinese Pentax forum has gotten hold of very official-looking shots of the new camera from Pentax, which will be called the K-01. Alongside the new camera from Pentax, there is also details of a new K-Mount lens, the Pentax-DA 40mm f.28 XS.
The design of the new camera is said to have been aided by designer Marc Newson and while more specifications on the camera are still unclear, it is believed to feature a 16 megapixel sensor and a 3in 920k dot LCD screen on the rear.
The camera is also set to come with a super-thin standard lens which measures just 9.2mm offering a focal length of 61mm in the 35mm format - making it the world's thinnest interchangeable lens.
We expect to hear an official announcement from Pentax regarding its new camera in the very near future so stay tuned for more information as we get it.
For now let us know what you think of the look of the camera and if you think it can compete with the Sony NEX cameras, the best-selling Nikon 1 series or the Olympus PEN range.
