Thank you, that's a great explanation! Comparisons should be fair, so I should've compared the K-70 with pentaprism, conventional-shutter (i. e. not mirrorless), weatherproof cameras instead of with my current X-T10. The Nikon D7200 comes to mind, and it's practically as heavy as the Pentax and doesn't have in-body shake reduction. Still, for those of us who come from smaller cameras it's a real pity that the K-70 isn't a bit lighter and the worry of my first post still remains: will I get tired of carrying it around? I'd love to hear your experiences with similar DSLRs.

BTW, I wonder what the guys at DPreview are waiting for to post their K-70 analysis? It's been almost 3 months since they included it in their studio test scene (although without RAW pixel shift mode) so I expected a full review to be up by now.

I really don't plan to do concert photography, but then, do you mean that you wouldn't take a Pentax K-70 to a concert? After using the Fujifilm mirroless I've become used to its very quiet functioning and it's really nice.

I'm considering buying a new camera and the K-70 seems to be great. Few cameras offer so many interesting features in its price range. But there are 2 issues that I'd like to share:
1- Weight. The K-70 is heavier than pretty much all its contemporary APS-C peers and even some full frame cameras. I want a camera that makes me want to go places and take pictures. Perhaps anyone with hands-on experience can comment on this?
2- Shutter noise. Many reviews state that the shutter in the K-70 is very loud. Currently, I love taking portraits with my lightweight Fujifilm X-T10 thanks to its swiveling screen and its very silent shutter. My subjects think that I'm just fiddling with the camera menus and thus they come out more natural. I wonder if the K-70 shutter will be too disruptive for that type of photographs or for quiet locations such as museums, churches or the outdoors. Any thoughts on this?
Do you think that this could be fixed through firmware updates?
