The latest CES update at Amateur Photographer UK has an update from Pentax that says
Pentax wants to develop its range of consumer DSLRs. A spokesman was tight-lipped over what we can expect but insisted its range must cater for all levels of consumer, including the lower-end. Pentax also admitted that the Thailand floods have caused a shortage of DSLR components.
Ricoh (in the last section) says
Ricoh may launch a Pentax K-mount version of its GXR system, as well as a variable-angle LCD monitor
One more, General Imaging says
GE wants to focus on higher-end compact cameras as smartphones hit the lower-end market. Next month it will release a new £150 compact called the G100 with features such as multiple exposure and HDR.
