FWIW, I do a lot of studio photography, and I work with photographers who have access to all the gee whiz stuff that Nikon packs into their cameras.
Interestingly, none of them tether, even though they have the ability to do so. Tried it, wrote it off as a "yes that's nice, but what good is it?" feature.
What we found was that it gets in the way of the process of taking pictures more than it helps.
Now, if I was doing a lot of small product/tabletop photography, I would like full tethering, in much the same way that when I was shooting that sort of thing 20 years ago I liked using my 4x5 because I could shoot Polaroids.
Sometimes I think all the stuff they put on cameras to make it easier actually has exactly the opposite effect. I have a K5, and I have an AF540ftz flash.
Apparently, I can use it wirelessly with TTL automation.
I don't know for sure because when I read the instructions for how to do it, I decided that it was far easier to just use an autoflash, or to use real studio lights and not mess around with all the Rube Goldberg stuff that is an excuse for "Strobist" photography.
It seems to me that a lot of what gets packed onto cameras these days is there so that marketing has something to talk about, and to give some sort of leg up on the competition, not because it is necessarily useful for photography.
