I'm the old-school type of anticipate the moment and do your best to capture one best image. Even as quiet as the K-3 is, I do not want to listen to a paparazzi buzz of a flapping mirror.
What I would really like are:
* While I use AF 90+% of the time, an OEM focus screen that better supports manual focus in the optical viewfinder. In addition to some manual focus primes, I find that I periodically want to tweak the focus point via quick shift. Reading the threads on the 3rd party focus screens, it seems as though the best all interfere to some extent with metering. Taking my eye off the subject to observe the green in-focus octagon is counter-productive, and red focus overlay blinks upon focus but doesn't guarantee you didn't drift past the focus point.
* Keep the internal flash and find room in the body for GPS. I often can only take one external flash for space/weight reasons. With an internal flash I can use the external flash both on and off camera, optionally use the external as key and the internal as fill, or frankly just use the internal flash for non-critical snapshots. Internal flash is more important to me than GPS, which is why I own a K-3 rather than a K-3ii. A basic GPS recorder would be great. I personally don't care about the astrotracer capabilities, and even small P&S cameras now-days can capture location metadata in EXIF. Searching images by automatically recorded location would be a huge benefit to me.
