It sure seems like they are more than 10 months away from a finished,
ready to sell product.

I think they just finessed some of the details on the mockup.
There's a little bump on the back where the button for switching between
cards is on the back of the K-3.
I'm thinking that IF/when the product is finally available it will have
a card select button there, and the built in pop-up flash will be there
too.
The blocky screen shape suggests it will be articulating but they
haven't finalized how that's going to work, so they didn't know where to
put the release button on the mockup.
I also expect the other missing controls/items will be there in the end.

Not sure how closely this prototype is actually going to be to the
real camera, but it appears similar in layout to the K-3 except:
No LIVE VIEW/Record Video button? No headphone jack or mic jack?
Doesn't appear that this camera will do video (not that this would be
a deal breaker for many).
It is supposed to have 2 card slots, so did they move that button to a
position over the top of the 4-way?
There is an extra button on the left side of the body (over the RAW/FX
button) and it appears that this model will not have a built-in flash?
No articulating screen?
Or do you think that they just aren't giving these details away in
the mock-up?

So will the button layout be like a K-3 or like the new K-S2? Looks
like a
tilt screen on the back, built in wifi, or is that considered
consumer level
like the built in flash, which the model seems to lack. Inquiring minds
want to know. I still think the vibe in the design should be MZ-S
rather
than 6x7 but that's just me.
I don't know if this is smarter than Pentax with the MZ-D where
there was a
working prototype, (and nary a rumor until it was just about
canceled), but
here they unvale a clay mockup...

Looks like they have smarter people on board now, as they haven't
missed
the 40th anniversary of the K mount.
