It would not be a deal-breaker for me if the new camera lacked flash, but I hardly consider having one useless. By the specs, my K-3's flash only has a guide number of 13 (ISO 100/m). However, at ISO 200, that translates to f/4 at 15 feet and effective fill flash as far away as 20 feet. While not a diffuse source (few, if any effective modifiers), coverage is fairly broad and adequate for 19mm focal length on that camera. It also offers a generous sampling of P-TTL support including Master/Commander for optical wireless, trailing curtain sync, and contrast control flash. Strangely enough, I have used it for outdoor fill flash multiple times in the last few months and it worked just fine for that task in a casual context. I have also used it as wireless commander for product shots. I consider it a useful feature and a heck of a lot more practical than having a more powerful, but still wimpy P-TTL miniature unit from Godox, Metz, or Pentax always in the bag. (FWIW, I think the Godox TT350P simply rocks and would be a welcome passenger in my bag at some point, but why pay out $85 USD if there is no need.)
