If I had the new K-3 II, I wouldn't miss the pop-up flash at all. I
generally use either hot shoe flashes or monolights when I need flash.
Speaking of hot shoes, this new internal GPS unit won't tie up your hot
shoe like the older external model does. Using both GPS and a hot shoe
flash at the same time should be easy now.
Those of you who never shoot outdoors in the wilderness probably don't
need the GPS features so much. It should be a big benefit to those
wanting to capture stars as point sources instead of trails though. The
compass and logging features might also come in handy while hiking
through remote areas. I'd definitely make use of the GPS unit for some
of my shooting.

it would be interesting to see exactly where we were.
I guess it's one of those features that's great to have when you really need
it, but not much missed
otherwise. Not sure about taking out the popup flash, I used mine today to
throw some balancing
light into a contrasty scene.
