I received some information on the US pricing of the upcoming Pentax NC-1 mirrorless camera - the kit with one lens will have a MSRP in the $600 range. More lenses are expected to be released later in the year. Pentax already showed a teaser for their new mirrorless camera at a recent trade show in China. The NC-1 is expected to be announced in June, 2011.
June will be a busy month with upcoming announcements from Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica and possibly Samsung.
There will be also a second digital camera with interchangeable lenses from Pentax based on the old Auto 110 film camera.
The price of the new Optio RZ18 compact camera will be $299 (expected announcement: July, 2011). Another entry level Pentax RS2000 point and shoot camera will be released in August, 2011 with a price tag of $149.
