   Raw?

   The Q is supposed to have the APS-C sensor and RAW, basically on par with the Pentax K-R. Price tag was leaked to be around 80,000 yen, roughly 1,000 USD. I don’t see how it’s going to compete against the upsoming $550 Sony NEX C3 (NEX C3 has the same 16mp APS-C sensor as Nikon D7000 and Pentax K5). The upcoming Sony NEX-7 is supposed to have the new 24MP APS-C sensor like the upcoming a65 and a77 and cost less than $1,000.

   The Pentax NC-1 has the 1/2.33 sensor, a $600 price tag but no RAW. Maybe Pentax is reconsidering this mistake and updating the firmware to include RAW. The $600 price tag is insane.

   The information leaks have been too confusing with Pentax.

   The Pentax Q is not the APS-C mirrorless that was reported earlier. The Pentax Q has the tiny 1/2.33 sensor and now includes RAW.

   The NC-1 is now the APS-C mirrorless camera.

   Does Pentax even have a marketing/sales department to help disseminate product information?

     You don’t “report”, you troll. Big difference! What is funniest is the fact that you pose as an insider (see the RAW part) when you know $**t about $**t.
