One underrated advantage of the 'K' series cameras (Starting I think
with the K10D) was the ability to shoot DNG as the raw file. No worries
whether the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw would support the RAW
file format for new cameras

It will be interesting to see what happens from here. Will the brand be
sold again? How many times has it been sold in the past couple of
decades? Will they give up on the pentaprism and go mirrorless? If so
will they keep the K-mount? Or do like Cannon and Nikon and sell
adapters? As to myself, there is very little that I need to do
photographically that I can't. I expect a huge drop in prices of used
gear on this announcement as a lot of people decide to switch brands now
before the bottom completely drops out of the market.
I haven't even tried to use any of the mirrorless systems from Nikon,
Cannon or Sony, so I have no idea how good or bad the UI on them is for
me. I will say that while the K-3 III got some UI things right, they
totally shit their pants in other ways.
Meanwhile, I'm lucky to be able to do any photography a few times each
quarter. A far cry when I was averaging a couple hundred frames a day
because I could just wander around looking for things to photograph.
