Yes, and while it's an interesting read one should note Mr. Kitazawa never said they will make mirrorless FF and 645D. The interviewer was pushing hard towards mirrorless and Mr. Kitazawa gave some non committal answers - reflecting (as he claims) his own thinking. That's a huge difference from the "OMG! Pentax will launch mirrorless FF and 645D on 19th December!" rumour.
On the contrary, what we should expect is smaller DSLRs with 100% viewfinders. About FF, I'd guess we'll find out when/if they will be ready to launch it.
Btw, thanks again to PF's v5planet for the translation (if he also read this forum...)
