Doesn't the K-70 have the outdoor view setting? This lets you greatly brighten the screen during the day, or darken it at night, to make it easy to see. You can map this option to the raw/Fx1 button for easy adjustment.
I regularly make use of the +1 setting (+2 is too bright in most cases), and I enable the histogram in playback mode since you can't judge the expose as well when the whole image is brightened.
Originally posted by Edgar_in_Indy The KP is nice, but I wish it had a deeper buffer. If it did, my decision would be much easier. It seems like maybe my money would be better spent on the K-70 since it seems to have image quality pretty dang close to that of the KP.
The K-70 essentially delivers the same image quality, just doesn't offer as high of a top ISO. With the current difference in price, I'd probably go for the K-70 as it is a better value, and IMO the grip is more comfortable. Later on, you'd then be able to upgrade to whatever replaces the K-3 II, which should have a big buffer.
