ФОТО: dpreview.com

In a video shared to YouTube yesterday, Ricoh offered more information on its upcoming Pentax APS-C DSLR. The video, embedded above, is the latest in a series that Ricoh is creating ‘to reinforce its commitment to DSLR photography.

The 24-minute video, which offers embedded translated subtitles in English, is a dialogue between professional photographer Keita Sasaki and Wakashiro Shigeru of Ricoh’s Product Planning department.

The pair give a little hands-on with the new camera and lenses and discuss many facets of the upcoming Pentax APS-C DSLR. Here are a few of the highlights from the conversation:

The new optical viewfinder will be brighter and clearer than the one found in the Pentax KP; it uses a new high-refraction glass pentaprism first developed back in 2017.

It will be compact and offer a new grip for ‘increased comfort. ’

The camera will have a joystick on the back (for autofocus and more) and use larger buttons for better tactile feedback

The shutter release will use the same ‘leaf switch’ mechanism found in the Pentax 645Z and Z-1.

The rear LCD display will be ‘extra large’ (no specific size is shared, however).

The new sensor will be improved across the board, at lower and higher sensitivities

Shigeru also reveals the camera will come in silver (alongside the standard black version) and have a set of silver lenses to match (a 70–210mm F2. 8, 50mm F1. 4 and 85mm F1. 4). A silver version of the K-1 Mark II will also be released in the near future alongside the silver D FA 21mm lens announced back in May.

Will DSLR Deserters Really Leave Mirrorless Cameras in Two Years?

Mirrorless is the future. Mirrorless is the best. DSLRs are dead! These are things we all hear every single day in the photography world, but there are some out there who believe otherwise. There is no doubt that further (much further) down the line, Mirrorless cameras will likely kill of the DSLR, but Ricoh believes that the mighty DSLR will put up a heck of a fight along the road to inevitability, in fact they are so confident that they think DSLR deserters will return to the cameras two years after leaving for the promised land of Mirrorless.
