Ricoh is rumored to announce a new Pentax K1 Mark III camera - here are the leaked specifications:

- 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
