K3 II AF...

It would seem that the entire AF improvment on the K3II 's tracking is algorithm based? If so it could be implemented on the K3 (Original) but will they? Not immediately but perhaps but sometime in the near future, it would seem that it is to stay in the range for a bit, well at least until stocks run out, or maybe it already has been silently implemented with the new firmware (V:1.20) but I'm not going to drop two grand on a lens to find out, as I really don't think anyone would notice the difference on any SDM lenses... I think I'll be holding on to my K3 for a bit and wait and see what we do and don't get, mmmm Limiteds...

That's right - it would require an incrediblay accurate shift mechanism to get each colour exactly re-aligned above each sensor pixel!!

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II has both inbuilt flash & GPS so it is physically possible to fit both.

My understanding is GPS doesn't take much space at all. Both should be easy if the camera is designed to take it from the start. The k-3ii is a refresh of a model, so no major body changes have occurred, outside ditching the flash to reuse the space.
