Body looks a bit chunky. And, the top LCD seems to be not yet ready.

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.

Someone emailed me the link of this post in a Chinese Pentax forum, the samples look legitimate (it seems to be). Is the Mark III going to launch in 2019?
