Originally posted by Gray No articulating screen. Sigh. Why cripple the usability of a "flagship" in such a capricious way? It baffles me that a feature that many photographers need, me too, is absent for no good reason.
I know they didn't specifically mention a movable screen in the video, but the K-70, KP, and K-1 (& ii) have all been released with some form of movable, tilt-able, pivot-able, or articulated screen.
While it is pure speculation, it doesn't seem to make sense that Pentax would go back to a fixed screen for what they regard as their flagship APSC camera. If they can have a movable screen in the "lower end" K-70, why would they not have one in the K(new APSC)?
I suppose stranger things have happened, but it doesn't seem to me that they'd go backwards.
Possibly in favor of a fixed screen is the discussion about the OVF extending 3mm beyond the level of the screen. There's no visibility of a pivot screen, but maybe the model is dummied up to keep some secrets still?
Maybe it is just my wish list that is keeping the movable screen on the table ... in my mind. I just cannot see them dropping it after all recent releases have had one.
