Limited camera for limited people...
(I shouldn't be that harsh about Pentax collectors, - they are fine people.
This is not about them.)
I might sound quite a bit grouchy, but it seems to me that instead
of creating real camera products, Pentax releases something that
even according to their own expectation, would interest only 1% of Pentax
photographers...
With that, the flagship APS-C line has not had a camera in production for
several (2?) years. K-3 II was released in April of 2015.
The rumors say that the successor is expected in 2020:

In the mean time, there is a vacuum. I am afraid that it created a dent in
Pentax customer base. But, on the other hand, people will be probably more
enthusiastic about the new model if and when it will come out.
... unless by that time it will be "dea... obsolete on arrival".
Cheers,
Igor
