Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: What is the LCD Screen Size of the K-New?

What is the LCD Screen Size of the K-New?

Since Pentax (Ricoh) has yet not told us more specs of the K-new, in order to estimate the rear LCD screen size of the K-new, which they told us that it was "huge", I took a much similarly angled picture of my KP and then measured the dimensions of the same different parts.



In particular, I measured the dimensions of the rear wheel/dial openings, and then the diagonal lengths of the screens, calculated and got the ratio for each camera and then calculated again the ratio between the two ratios. :-)

It is found that the K-new's screen is about 1.13X diagonally larger than that of the KP. Hence, since the KP's screen is in 3 inches, it is estimated that the K-new's rear LCD screen should be in about 3.4", case closed.

It looks like the new camera has a fixed screen, What do you think?

It seems that they opted for a larger screen rather than a flipped monitor, but maybe each to its own.

I thought they were talking about the top LCD?
The size of the rear screen is smaller than the glass. You can see a black frame around the screen with a pronounced bar on the left hand side.

I had measured the inside area already. :-)

Great thanks. How does that compare to the GR III touch screen?

The GR III monitor is in 3 inches, which is of a standard resolution in around 1M dots, which looks coarse. I wish the K-new should have a higher resolution monitor, hopefully approaching 1.5M dots at least, so that the displayed images could look finer.
