I'm in the same camp regarding on-board flash. I don't know why it has to be a guilty secret. It's very handy for fill. I like it for wildlife with a Rogue Safari flash extender.
I saw a Fuji camera mentioned here recently where you could tilt the popup flash to bounce it. That seemed like a good idea.
Very ingenious solution to what seems to be a reasonably common problem.

From the PF review: "Note that while the K-70 uses a 24-megapixel sensor, it is a completely new chip—not the one used in the K-3 or K-3 II. In fact, in some ways the new sensor outperforms the chip found in the flagship APS-C model." |

The main thing with any camera purchase - apart from devising a satisfactory explanation for your Significant Other - is working out what matters to you and what doesn't. You've thought about this carefully, and that's a lesson for all of us.
You might find the articulating screen more useful than you expect, even when the camera is not on a tripod. I find the one on the K-S2 very handy for low-level or high-level shots (e.g. flowers from ground level). Yes it can be tricky learning to point the camera in a different direction from the screen (especially when doing focus/recompose), but It's worth taking a few minutes to get used to it. Focus peaking in live view (where the things in focus are outlined) makes focusing a lot easier.
