I would keep it 100% sure there won't be "Pro 2", Pro 1 was half baked copy (no stabilization, button zoom, menu driven user interface, video mode bad joke/insult) just for "hijacking" people looking (Konica)Minolta A1 and A2 and was most propably meant to fill gap between point&prays and expensive DSLRs before getting consumer cash cows aka low end DSLRs out.

If you want SLR-like controls and lot of features two years old KonicaMinolta A2 would be best choise...
Like Pro 1 those are now available only as used of refurbished.
(unless some small shop "has forgotten one to farthest corner of storage room")
