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

• USB C 3.2 connection
• Joystick
• Touchscreen (thankfully can be switched off)

• 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
