SUMMARY
Pentax, the last brand committed to DSLRs, has discontinued its entire K-series DSLR lineup. This move is in preparation for developing a "new series of digital SLR cameras based on an entirely new concept." Ricoh announced the transition, stating the new camera will leverage K-mount lenses and maintain the SLR design, though details remain scarce. The company aims to re-examine the value of photography and create a product that emphasizes the joy of the shooting experience, potentially appealing to users seeking dedicated cameras without smartphone distractions.
