That would seem to be the case, yes. I think they did their best to bring this camera in under certain size and financial limits, which is why we didn't get a restored aperture arm or interchangeable VF's or TTL. To be fair to the engineering team, split prism viewfinders retroactively installed in DSLRs have been known to play havoc with AF and metering, and I don't think they wanted to give themselves potential hassles with trying to sort that one out. Most interchangeable screens for film-era applications had to do with photomicrography, macro, composition gridlines, etc., and we now have the composition gridlines while professional photomicrography is these days almost exclusively the premise of dedicated microscope-mounted imaging systems, slide scanners and the like, while a large viewfinder that you don't have to squint through currently goes by the name of "live view". :p

I'm pretty sure we've been told several times that the screens should be regarded as fixed and not interchangeable. Those who wanted to put a split prism screen in are bitterly disappointed.

My K-5 offers in-camera crop at 1:1 (among other ratios), and I would be surprised if the K-1 didn't have the same option. The only catch is you have to apply it to the taken image rather than at shutter-press time.
