Admittedly, due to the nature of P&S designs, such cameras obviously don't have internal mirror mechanisms to contend with, but the poor implementation of Live View in the current K20D was one of the main reasons why I decided to hang onto my K10D's for the time being.

IMHO to be genuinely useful, Live View needs to be provided with a fully-articulating screen in the same manner that numerous P&S cameras do, cutting diametrically across the weather-sealed design ethos present in the current K10D/K20D bodies. If that particular problem could be successfully addressed, then I'd probably buy such a Pentax camera without a moment's hesitation.

Zigview | S2 (Type B) Digital Angle Finder | S2B | B&H Photo
