Originally posted by Larrymc Well, the "many others" who do want a flippy screen probably won't buy the camera. My problem with all of this is all of the pontificating about this like they have inside information as to how the camera will or will not sell. Its gotten very old because it happens over and over again and mostly from the same individuals.
Yes, we
still have a thread of 'humor' - not really of "satire" - that resulted because someone was unhappy that the K-3 said "Ricoh" on its back; apparently Ricoh found enough people to purchase the K-3 anyhow.
I still remember all the grumbling that resulted when the K-3ii lacked a flash - and they found people to purchase all the K-3ii's they made.
I have never run a fully-charged KP down in a day, and have never missed the shot I wanted because my KP's buffer is full, and I don't use the upper LCD. So, while the viewfinder of the "K-3ii replacement" sounds interesting to me, I don't plan to get one, but certainly not for any of the reasons given by people who have been longing for a "flagship 'APS-C' " for the past year. If anything, my wallet and my affection for my KP are reason enough, even though I've only used its flippy screen maybe once a year.
