Ricoh is rumored to announce a new Pentax K1 Mark III camera – here are the leaked specifications:
- SAFOX 14 autofocus system
- New full-format sensor, again from Sony, 3 different sensors are installed in the prototypes, for the series I’m guessing the 61M BSI CMOS million pixel sensor
- Very fast fps
- 4K (and higher) video
- USB C 3.2 connection
- Joystick
- Touchscreen (thankfully can be switched off)
- New smart functions (including those that the K3 III doesn’t have yet)
- Bluetooth / WiFi
- New control software for the cell phone (with live view)
- GPS built-in
- Astrotracer built-in
- Key illumination
- Very solid workmanship, very good feel
- Of course, the optical viewfinder (but significant improvements in the information display)
- Production is scheduled to start in Vietnam in October
- LCD display with a slightly higher resolution than the K1 III
- The battery remains the same as in the K1 II, 645Z and other Pentax
- Two CF Express memory card slots
Ricoh registered a new R07010 camera in China and South Korea
