According to a Japanese Mag Pentax is planning to re-enter in Mirrorless Market with it’s M-E Mirrorless camera (Name isn’t confirmed yet) that expected to be announced in next few months, possibly after the announcement of Pentax K-P DSLR.
The original M-E camera camera was announced on late 1970, a classic 35mm camera. Pentax is gearing up again to re-create the legacy of M-E film camera with M-E Mirrorless camera

Pentax M-E isn’t first mirrorless camera, Pentax announced its first mirrorless camera Q on 2011. The Pentax Q was the world smallest mirrorless camera ever made by having a 1/2.3″ (6.17 x 4.55 mm). After Q camera Pentax announced Q10, Q7 and Q-S1. The last Q-S1 mirrorless camera was announced on 2014 and after that Pentax halted it’s production due to low demand.
(Thanks Mario Groleau) After Pentax Q Pentax announced K-01 Mirrorless camera on 2012 with same APS-C sensor that was used inside the Nikon D7000 DSLR and Pentax K-5 camera. But Pentax also discontinued it’s K-01 camera after some time.

Pentax is a excellent brand and they need more love from people around the world, I do request all the people who are reading my comment… you should get at least one Pentax camera in your life time. Yes…. they do build excellent machine.
Been a Pentax geek since the early 90’s, the film days. Love their stuff , wouldn’t shoot with anything else. But MAN are they late to the game with the retro camera…they should’ve brought out a digital K1000 AGES ago, something that finally matches their gorgeous limited primes.
Dear Mr. Steve… I do agree to your cooments of Pentax cameras Because while I was young I was using Ashai Pentax like Spotmatic I and II.and lately Pentax K1000 series.
Wonderful cameras in which I never forget in my life time.The lens like f1.8/50mm, f2/50mm were really superb.If permited I will difinately buy a DSLR Pentax camera.
Thanks & Regards.
