Screenshots you mean? Most phones have a screenshot feature that can be accessed at any time. On an iphone you press the home and the lock button simultaneously. On many android devices, you swipe the edge of your hand from vertically across the screen.

So Pentax forget to build in this future into the K-1? Is the K-70 maybe more modern?

I think you need to wait for the yet-to-be-released kPhone, Ron...

Yeah, but soon hundreds of million of people are running around the globe making images of Pokémon and posting them on social media.......and they never ever going to need an old fashion camera in their life.......

A kPhone would be cool.

I think our hobby will survive just fine without them - we're mutually exclusive groups, mostly, with different photographic needs. The small sub-group with an interest in both pursuits will be happy enough to buy equipment that suits each purpose individually

I just don't get why anyone would be interested in this Pokey thingy (but then I'm a certified old fart--just ask my daughter.)

It's an interactive treasure hunt game. Although not my flavor, I can appreciate the appeal. Like birding for some, trainspotting for others.

Sort a like GPS or geocaching. I don't understand it either and trying to figure out how to download and play with my daughter. It's good opportunity to teach awareness and how to be safe on the internet/social media. But my daughter is young. Usually if something is this popular I run in the other direction.

It's fun until someone puts a whatever they are called in your back yard as happened to one of my son's.

Yeah, property rights, privacy, and common sense/decency trump any game play.

I gave you a Like for that. I would have given you two if the system would let me.
