I am very happy with my K-5, but am still looking forward to the K-new (as usual, I will wait a year before buying so that other people can identify the bugs). I would very much like an articulating rear screen, though. I have missed some close-to-ground-level macro shots because there wasn’t

It depends on your vision of state of the art, as I've said, while I don't have anything against an adjustable rear screen, either the one on the back of the K-1 or the fully articulating screen on, K-70 and K-P, but, it is more fragile and therefor something else you can break, and I seem to

All Pentax FF and APS-C DSLR cameras (and those of competitors) have a movable screen in 2020 and there is no reason not to have it for new models. I bet therefore that the final version of the new flagship will have it too. The two videos demonstrate that Ricoh/Pentax put so much focus on the

I wouldn't mind mirrorless with its inherent light weight, but with all my Pentax lenses I'm hesitant to change brands. And it is so useful now to be able to switch lenses of FF and APS-C in the Pentax system without any converters. The K-1 is a perfect camera but not for carrying on long walks
