Leaked Pentax NC-1 Mirrorless Photos? (Body w/ Two Lenses)

The previous Pentax "NC-1" mirrorless rumour has become more true. The "system" photos are leaked, there are one body plus two lenses:-



via the Mirrorless Rumors:-

http://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/hot-first-pictures-of-the-pentax-nc-mirrorless-system/

But with a crop factor of 5.6X to the 135 Full Frame and using the smallest P&S sensor for a DC of 1/2.33", what's the true meaning of this mirrorless ILDC system? :-o In fact, the IQ of such a mirrorless system will be no better than an ordinary DC and just worse to the more superior prosumers which use just a larger sensor, e.g., the Olympus XZ-1 and the Pana LX5, etc.! :-(

On the other hand, the NC-1 is the first Pentax interchangeable lens body which has a true video motion compression codec in H.264, which the current K-5 and K-r both lack, which is somehow a good news and start anyway, if it is to be true.

Yes, what a shame. And for a 1/2.33" DC, I would rather buy a faster superzoom.

I agree with you. It should at least have a 1/1.6" backlight CMOS on it...
What a waste of resource...

There is no 1/1.6" backlight CMOS. Either 1/1.6" CCD or 1/2.3" backlight CMOS

In the linked article is in the last paragraph written:
But here comes the even bigger news. Pentax will create two different mirrorless systems! The second system will feature a much larger APS-C sensor (Sony?) and be compatible with current K-mount lenses. That system should be introduced this summer. So if you want an incredible small mirrorles ssystem you can get the NC-1, if you want a mirrorless system with high image quality you can get the large sensor camera.

So there will be two mirrorless systems available !!!

I don't believe in the second rumour, as there is nothing to substantiate it. As for the first one, at least there are some "leaked photos" to support.

Guys, why are you still believing in such idiotic proposals?

It is harakiri to spent money on developing such product. No one would buy EVIL with such sensor. It will be larger than compact camera, more expencive and less robust.

Also there may be just mixingof rumors - inventing EVIL and inventing compact of LX5/XZ-1/S95/EX-1/P7000/G12 level.

Would have been good if the lenses had been significantly faster - coupled with an extra-low base ISO. So I'm rather disappointed...

This camera is really ugly, these suckers aren't capable or willing to build a full frame DSLR, staying with Pentax isn't funny anmore. I say D800!

pentax have some superb tiny primes already in k mount that are just itching to be used on a camera with a slightly smaller sensor. 15mm 21mm 70mm. Thus giving these miniature glass marvels multi purposes. Example 2.5x crop factor.
