I agree with both "Angulon", and with "vonBaloney".
I have a Nikon Coolpix L830 => small, compct, 34x zoom, AA batteries => it goes everywhere with me. It has a simple "Tilt" LCD, same as Kp, so i was accustomed to using it. Very handy if camera held above head, or low down, close to ground. Also pretty good when SUN on LCD screen is a problem, and, of course, with the Kp, we have the OVF available.
I have also had a K-70, since they first came available. Gave the first one to my granson, for Christmas, 2018. Soon missed that extra flexibility of the fully fold-out LCD in some circumstances, although, when it is open, i am nervous about 'catching' it on something. I ONLY shoot hand-held. But, the LCD can be folded back to a convential position, and folded away, to PROTECT the LCD, I am happy carrying the K-70 anywhere, anytime, any weather, with the LCD safely tucked away, out of harm's way.
Us pentax users can be a tough bunch. Usually complain, . . . . "if only my XX camera also had . . . . . ". Maybe this is because the cameras are so tough, and so reliable . . . . . hence the massive disappointment with the 00 series ABF problem. After all, any "proper" camera repair shop can easily fix it, usually for a modest fee (except in USA, apparently). In Australia, a few years back, i purchased a used K-50 from B&H, and it arrived with ABF. B&H sent me a replacement, and told me to keep the faulty one, so, i sent it to CRK, in Melbourne, and they repaired it, and called it 'warranty', no charge. Ended up with 2 good cameras. Not in the USA !!!!!
