Last time I raised ten things that I wanted Ricoh to do. The second thing of these is a K-mount mirrorless. However, what I wanted is a smaller and lighter body with the omission of the mirror and the penta-"prism" and at least an EVF should be brought back, in lieu of the OVF. Very unfortunately, they have failed to do both, but not even a swivel rear LCD monitor! >:-(
So, this is just a half-baked (or not even!) body and uncompleted job they have done. Hope that the K-02 would have these basic problems cured! I now start to learn why the new body is named as such, it might be that there are so many subsequent models to come and follow, in this order like 01, 02, 03, 04 ... until 09 but not reaching 10, as there is already a K10D beforehand! :-o
