LV of K-70 has no difference from K-S2...Alas.

It may not be as good as A6300, but may come close.....
Even that would be big feat...
I'll need for more evidence to rule out any possibility of performance gain over K-S2. Plus we cannot deny the possibility of a quick firmware update for AF improvements in Live view to K-70 since the whole hybrid focus is new to Pentax.
Hybrid AF is one of the biggest selling points for K-70, and the reason for all the hype around it.

I too was very disappointed by the K-70's initial impressions.
So I had been keeping an eye on the 80D. It click all the check marks in my list except a few-
fast AF
highly customizable AF
more AF points
class leading live view usability
touch screen
more buffer
7 fps
more dedicated buttons
more lenses (more feasible for me in my region since there are very few Pentax lenses available, it's mostly Nikon & Canon)
place where it fails is:
Sensor performance - one of the biggest things keeping me away from canon, despite the huge bump in image quality, it's not that good in dynamic range compared to nikon-sony-pentax - could be due to canon's 1.6x crop resulting in smaller sized photosites.
no focus peaking
Price is another thing which concerns me.
also the WR feature in Canon might end up being useless since I don't see consumer level Canon lenses which are weather sealed, just L series. Pentax is really the leader here.
