Never mind, I'm certain you were being rhetorical. Or intended to put a cat amongst the pigeons ....
at least he can speak for me too... I have the same experience as at least on other member here: My K-5 and other Pentax DSLR's have survived bumps and drops that for sure would have killed the articulating thingy, especially when extended (but even tucked in it will be less rugged than a fixed screen).
IF they do market a camera with an articulating screen, I hope some ducttape is also provided in the box as it will be the first thing I will use..
Although maybe there wont be a K-3 with articulaitng screen and it will merely be the one change on the K-5n. Please don't ask me my "n" should represent "articulating screen" but less logical things have happened in cameraland.
By the way, weren't there supposed to be newsflashes and announcements by this time?
