Three New Pentax/Ricoh Cameras in the Pipeline?


Source: e-Sertifikasi Portal (in Indonesia) via Nokishita @Twitter (in Japanese)

The models R02020, R03030 and R05010 are new, which should be under development. Whether they are in the Ricoh or Pentax brand is yet unknown, though. Furthermore, I list below the recent registered R-numbered camera models by Ricoh for your better wild guessing. ;-p

R01010: Pentax K-1 Mark II

R02010: Ricoh GR III

R03010: Pentax K-3 Mark IIIkey

They seem all Ricoh branded cameras, no Pentax. Else, in the Brand column, there would have appeared also some "Pentax" rather than only "Ricoh"?
This might be a sign, that Ricoh draws consequences now, that the K-3 III sales never really departed, still ranks extremely low on online shop's sales ranks, so all those years of development costs turned out to be almost wasted. The Ricoh Imaging boss probably has enough of that now.

R03010 = Pentax K-3 Mark III
Thanks, so this confirms my suspicion. If there was a Pentax camera in Ricehigh's snasphot, then in the first of the two "Brand" columns, there would have be "PENTAX" then, as we learned from your look back into the past.

On your 2nd link, there's one future Pentax camera, which doesn't appear on Ricehigh's list. But that is not registered by the company Ricoh Imaging, but by "ANEKA WARNA INDAH, PT."?

This is an interesting leak. As if there may be an already agreed future sales of the Pentax-branded camera business to "ANEKA WARNA INDAH", an Indonesian printer machine maker.
Oops, now I see that even on your first link for Ricoh-branded cameras, this ANEKA WARNA INDAH, PT. appears as well, instead of RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD.
Not sure what's going on, but maybe it doesn't mean very much then 🙂

R02020 = Ricoh Theta Z1.
R03030 = Ricoh Theta SC2.

Only R05010 corresponds to a yet to be known Ricoh camera (not Pentax: see under 'Merk' in the original Indonesian document).

It's most probably the recently announced Ricoh WG-7.
