While a tilt screen will be welcome to some, it introduces another
mechanical system that can fail, and makes the camera a bit bulkier.
I've got a tilt screen back on my Nikon Coolpix 7100 and at most it adds a
quarter to a half inch to the depth of the body. While it has its usages I
haven't got into those situations where it is necessary.

I'll bet it is a 20mp K-50 replacement. The only question of real
interest is will it have an improved auto focus system, inherited from the
K-3 or get the K-5II AF system. Ricoh could do either. While a tilt
screen will be welcome to some, it introduces another mechanical system
that can fail, and makes the camera a bit bulkier. I do hope that Ricoh
also introduces a K-500 replacement in the same vein, the K-S1 isn't
really entry level, and it's just not been all that well received to
become that even with a substantial price drop.
Now let the gnashing of teeth begin as it's not the long anticipated Full
Frame DSLR that everyone says they want but no one will buy if it's more
than $1200.00.

The DSLR looks like a K-50 replacement with an tiltable read monitor.
