Pentax cameras have always been relatively compact (compared to nikon or canon). From a business perspective this makes sense to me as it reduce their production cost (conversely increase margins). It also allows them to compete with true mirror-less systems from a marketing perspective. Yea - it is not as compact but then again is the fuji pro-1 that much smaller ?

I'm mostly with BC here (except that I can imagine it to actually be comfortable). And I still don't get the K-mount idea, except that they can start their mirrorless system now with a large existing lens portfolio. But a "real" mirrorless (with short flange distance), native lenses and K-mount adapter still sounds like a much better idea to me...
