K-1 Mark III IVG (Integrated Vertical Grip)
The camera with an integrated vertical grip instead of attaching an optional vertical grip will be lighter weight, lower cost and can have the tripod socket aligned with the center of the optical axis. This is much more important to me than storing an additional media card in the grip. I have a weather sealed container for small parts that is securely attached to my camera neck strap that can store the Hot Shoe Cap, Viewfinder Cap, Sync Socket Cap and spare media cards. BTW, I never remove the vertical grip on my K-1 Mark II. I modified my Stroboframe Vertiflip with an additional 1/4-20 threaded hole so I can center my micro-softbox equipped Pentax AF-540FGZ Flash above the optical axis whether the camera is held horizontal or vertical. Doing this allows for a fairly quick set-up when I need to do grip-n-grin type public relations photos.
I would also like to have the next generation K-1 be capable of doing Pixel Shift resolution with electronic flash by allowing the user to set a delay, measured in number of seconds, between each successive PSR exposure. A sizable portion of my photography is studio still life lighted with electronic flash.
It would be great to have a Sigma Corporation type user removable IR cut filter.
And, of course, bring back the Dust Alert Menu setting! This was a fantastic feature.
I'd most likely need a significant Megapixel increase to justify buying a new dSLR after having recently spent nearly $2,000.00 on the K-1 Mark II.
4K Video? Hell no! I can buy a light weight and compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 for under $1,000.00 that has an integrated lens and is loaded with many desirable features including built-in neutral density filters.
More AF points and increased frames per second? No thank you. I don't need it and I'm not willing to pay for it.
