Greetings, Subroto !
My, does that camera illustrated remind you of anything in particular? How about the 110 format film SLR from Pentax way back? Their 110 was a cute little camera in its day. And I think it may even be something of a collectible today. Perhaps they are remembering its success and would like to replicate it now in the digital age.
It's good to see Pentax active in the shootout among the major manufacturers. Their awareness of film shooter culture and of good price-performance value are exemplary. I wish them every success.
Happy day.

Exactly, it looks just like a 110 SLR. How cute they were! But I had never got a chance to use them.
I like the way Pentax guys think.
I wish they come up with faster and cheaper AF lnses of good optical quality.

Greetings Henry !
I had an opportunity to use a Minolta 110 SLR many many years ago and my brother-in-law bought it from Baghdad, Iraq. It was quite an amazing piece of photo-gear in those days. I guess, it still lies somewhere in my sister's place.
Cheers,
