Imitation is supposedly the sincerest form of flattery, but in my humble opinion their R&D department team need to radically redesign the next version of Live View for the forthcoming model.
In all honesty, competing manufacturers manage this so much better on even their cheaper ranges that the current situation is almost embarrassing ! Might I tactfully suggest that Pentax take on board how the opposition achieve this feat so successfully and simply follow suit as rapidly as possible !

How specifically should Live View be implemented? Could you delve into specific details of how it ought to be done vis-a-vis how other manufacturers are implementing Live View (Olympus, Sony, Canon, etc.)?
eg. articulated LCD screen?

Without going into specifics, I'm afraid it is pointless to make generic comments that Pentax needs to improve LV. Improve in what area?
