Funny to see the buffer situation as this is my pet peeve with the K-S1. The fps is fine, but the buffer fills up so quickly it's infuriating having to wait and miss shots whilst it's thinking and storing catches up.
Easy fix for the K-1 ii there

That's some total brand brainwashing right there. Pentax cameras are awesome, but there are areas in which they can improve.
As above, the IQ has always been good, but others are catching up to this, and there are significant areas in which Pentax now does need to address to stay competitive, even just in terms of natural evolution to stay within 2 - 3 years of the competition.
Pentax is competitive and can be used professionally. It's silly to think otherwise, but at the same time, there are industry areas in which it's just simply not suited.
Pentax has a range of cameras from the q sized sensor (well they did) or action cam, through to semi pro level APS-C cameras, FF and MF with the 645Z. There must be something in there for nearly everyone?
None have eye AF, particularly impressive AF tracking, high (now industry standard) bit rate, focus peaking or mechanical stabilisation during video capture (even before mentioning 4K). There's definitely room for Pentax to develop further, to make that awesome IQ available to other market segments.
