The positives (for my use):
- Tilting screen... and NOT a fully-articulating screen. I shoot from the hip (and above my head) a lot, and the tilt-only screens are quicker.
- Electronic shutter... I've really grown to love the slient shutters on my m4/3 gear.
- Lack of a large handgrip... I rarely need one. I prefer a compact body.
- Better IBIS
- Better sensor
- Night mode (red) on the LCD
- Extra control dial with the three custom options.
- Pixel shift.
- And, I may be the first one to say it... but I love the placement of the front dial. I miss that orientation of the front dial since I left Canon 10+ years ago (they put it behind the shutter, which felt more comfortable for me, but this looks better to me than Pentax's traditional position.
Negatives (for my use):
- No dedicated AF point control (joystick, touchscreen, etc). Hopefully it has the custom function of the K1 which defaults the directional buttons for this use.
- No Astrotracer built in. I haven't used a flip flash on a DSLR for years, but I have used the K3 Astrotracer on several occasions.
- No dual card slots
Also, I don't miss the top LCD at all, I'd rather have more knobs there.
And, I did pre-order.
