I was expecting for Pentax to come up with something like the NX or NEX given their pancake series of lenses. I guess it is more marketing push to compact camera ugraders than dslr alternative compact.

Right. I still don't quite get it why pentax continues ignoring mirrorless APS-C market.
First, they are concentrating on APS-C; Second, they've got the most completed line of pancake lenses. Third they are recognized for making small yet high quality cameras(from LX to K7,K5). Forth, the Live view function on K5 is already very usable and responsive. It seems to me that Pentax have everything it takes to come up with a killer camera but they just don't do it. I'm guessing maybe there's some sort of agreement between Pentax and Sony limiting Pentax to get into the market....
