I hope Marc Newson can make a better Pentax K design than that one :)

Our reader Charlie reminded us that Pentax has already shown a sort of K-mount mirrorless prototype at the Photokina show in 2006. I really hope the new (REAL) K-mount mirrorless camera will have a much mrge attractive design. And if the rumors are true than the Star Designer Marc Newson will be the creater of that camera and it will certainly be beautiful! For the record, he designed the Talby phone (Click here to see).
Exciting time! Pentax mirrorless, Olympus OM, Panasonic (?)….

Translation: “The new Pentax CSC will be a bit smaller than the Kr and it is not sure that it wins -inmediatly- a beauty contest.

My comments: The Pentax mirrorless system will use a standard K mount so it will be much bigger than other mirrorless cameras. If the information from DSRL is true, the camera is big and ugly! It may be similar to the 2006 prototype…. ugh…
