As others, I believe omitting the pop-up flash is a good idea.
The pop-up flash cannot be put to serious use anyhow. It is too weak to function as a good controller over larger distances and recent Pentax DSLRs cannot use it to control off-camera flashes in HSS mode.
Regular P-TTL off-camera flashes can still be triggered by mounting a P-TTL flash on-camera.
I'd be using a radio trigger only, remote controlling off-camera flashes manually. Way better than fiddling with P-TTL anyhow.
I can't see Ricoh surprising us all with an RF-based flash system. Someone should open up an FGZ II flash and peek around for the RF antenna, anyhow.

I agree with Wired that these are surely hidden by a flap/door.
The more I look at the FF model design, the more I like it. Nice mix between the compactness of a K-3 and the stately / professional appearance of a classic MF camera.
I would welcome if it were a bit bigger than the K-5 / K-3. I love my K-5 II, but if it were a bit bigger, it would fit like a glove, as opposed to something that I have to slightly accommodate to.
