I recently sold my K-70 camera. I liked it a lot. I replaced it with a used Fuji X-T2 for only $150 more than I sold the K-70 for. The Fuji X-T2 is an incredible camera, and I like it so much better than the K-70. The only thing I miss is the K-70's Pixel Shift feature, but there are MANY MANY features that the X-T2 has that the K-70 doesn't.
Fuji has just released their new X-T3 camera. This newest version has even better auto-focus, sensor, and 4K video than the X-T2.
I've also owned a Pentax K5II, K3, K3II (two copies). The X-T2 is a much better camera than any of these. And now Fuji just came out with the X-T3. Those of you making excuses for Pentax's slow development of new cameras are just rationalizing Pentax's lack of R&D and resources compared with other camera manufacturers. For my APS-C needs, I'm glad that I switched to a company that regularly updates their bodies (and firmware) with the latest technology, and seemingly every few months is coming out with a new lens. What's wrong with regularly releasing new gear with the latest and greatest technology? I think that's a good thing.
Now, full frame is another matter entirely. I still own a Pentax K-1 camera, and am very happy with it. Except for auto-focus and video, I still firmly believe that the K-1 is an outstanding full frame digital camera at a comparatively rock bottom price.
