Originally posted by Rondec Doesn't eye relief have to do with the distance the viewfinder eye piece projects out from the back of the camera? So if you have a flippy screen that projects out farther from the back of the camera there is less separation between it and the eyepiece.
No.
Eye relief is the distance the eye is away from the glass of the finder.
The back of the camera has nothing to do with it. I can anyway press my eye to the OVF on the K-1 just fine... provided I'm not using my glasses. And if I'm using my glasses I cannot press my eye to the OVF close enough
regardless of camera depth or how much the OVF protrudes, I have to squish.
In any case, I use the O-ME53 magnifier which provides FAR more "eye relief" (~1 cm) than the lack of a flippy. I still smush my nose and cheek against the back of the camera, so not having the flippy doesn't provide any advantage whatsoever.
------
As per the camera predictions:
-> 45MP or 61MP sensor
-> 7 fps or so, somewhat decent buffer (about 25 raw?)
-> 4K video with no bells or whistles
-> Improved SR with better Astrotracer
-> 0.8x OVF
-> Similar body to K-1 but with the top plate taking after the K-3iii
-> 101 AF point system from K-3iii, joystick for selection
