Exhibit is to be put on show starting Sept 21, i.e. tomorrow. Nice. :-) But the real product is to be marketed in 2020 - not ideal but still better than none!
Highlight on (possible) new features:
- new proximity sensor under finder, hinting at least automatic switching of the rear LCD or even an optical/electronic hybrid finder?
- new joystick for AF navigation, hinting a new and improved AF system with more AF points?
- an updated and better APS-C sensor?
- re-designed new GUI
Well, I have thought that Pentax has been dead these months but today it's good to see there is yet something new and meaningful, although it is actually rather late already.

So let's assume, it will be near to the Nikon D7500 maybe.
But the Pentax won't attract anyone to change from Canon/Nikon to Pentax. If APS-C DSLR owners change to anywhere, then it will be to mirrorless nowadays. I think this Pentax will be a model to be upgraded to from within the Pentax community only. But that's a damn small market by now, because many will be perfectly happy with their old K-3, don't "need" to upgrade to anywhere. Hardly any "killer features" (with actual relevance) to be expected.
