The K-3 II has a fixed screen I discover so it is of no use for me.
However the K-70 looks OK for me.

Thanks Larry. I won't sell my K-1 because I am using this frequently
for local concerts (classical, which means no flash light), when these
ever will be started again.
My K-5 is fine for backup but the lack of a tilt screen is a serious
handicap for e.g. macro work. I can't understand now how I ever did
w/o tilted screen.
Unless the new flagship has some attractive innovation it is not a bad
idea to get instead a K-3 II, KP or whatever is offered in bargain
sales.

I'm playing with the idea to switch back from FF to a high res APS-C
for the advantages on the long end.
The big advantage of the K-1 is wide fast lenses, since it was
released there have been some APS wide fast lenses that nearly make
up the difference for speed and AoV.
I think that when you’re pushing the limits, the K-1 still has a
technical advantage.
My K-3 is better at shooting any sort of action, except in the lowest
of light.
I have to crop much with current lenses on the K-1. I use a Sigma
70-300, Tamron 70-300 and Pentax 100-300, but these are all cheap
lenses providing much flair (not the Pentax) and softness. Cropping
on the K-1 using these lenses gives me about the same resolution as
when used on my K-5.
When I’m birding, I’ll put a K-3 on my long lens.
The Pentax DA 55-300 WR looks like an attractive light lens
providing 450 mm maximum.
For the price of a FF FA 150-450 you can probably buy a flagship
APS-C with DA 55-300.
For what it would cost you to sell the K-1 and buy the flagship
APS, you could buy a really nice K-3 II and have both a full frame
and an APS.
It will be interesting to see how the new camera performs when it
comes out. It takes about one Moore’s law cycle for an APS sensor to
match the performance of a FF sensor, and the new camera will be
about 2 cycles newer than the K-1

I think the original announcement last year specified 24mp.

I think he means size in megapixels rather than physical dimensions.
