This is the camera I think Pentax should build. Yes, I know, it is wishful thinking.
There is no DSLR competing against Leica and Fuji with their rangefinder and mirrorless fun art/EDC cameras. Pentax is the ideal company to make one!
Take the primary components from the K1ii - same sensor, IBIS, viewfinder, & lens mount. Strip out most of the bells and whistles for a stills-only camera in a vintage-esque small format focused on art and street photography.
Some Features:
Bluetooth connectivity to a phone app for reviewing photos, file management, and security. Plus - download photos straight to your phone via the Bluetooth app.
Physical ISO and shutter dials. A thumb wheel for f-stop when necessary.
Re-issue famous art lenses:
50mm\f1.4 Takumar 8-elelemt
85mm\f1.5 Biotar copy (Helios 40)
135mm\f2.5 Petzval
B&W basic LCD screen with amber backlight provides maximum battery longevity and can be turned off for a fully manual experience.
Standard 26650 Li-ion battery
