Better to have a WiFI connection to the larger screen most people alreadt have, *your phone* - which has more power, which is what camera manufactures are doing anyway.

No I don't, it's a silly idea - it would need a CPU in there as well as a WiFi chip and an app to control it. you think a rechargeable battery can't fit in there? I think it could...

Cool.
If you do this again, opt for longer exposure times, so you get some motion blur.
Stills you don't want blur, video you do
that's why I'm saying longer than 1/30 sec would be nice... get into the 30 second range and you could get some nice stars to appear in these types of shots..Cool.

here's another early experiment:

You can use a field monitor if you want detached screen.

we'll find out soon enough.. but it would make sense to expand the shutter speeds for 4k interval video over what the k3 does.

and I hope they upgraded the 4k interval to take shots up to 30 seconds for astro shooting video time lapses.

the video switch is a lever on one of the top dials this does video, speculated 1080 no confirmation..it also has the mic and headphone jacks you'd expect, no word on if the dials light ip yet.

I think you completely missed the point I made... It's my understanding that no one moves the sensor in/out towards the lens, as that directly impacts on the focus point of the shot.
...
Aberrations occur because different wavelength of light will focus at different points when passing through glass.... ever see a prism separate light into it's colour components? I'm suggesting the sensor could be used to make a precise focus for each colour and merge the data to eliminate aberrations...

pentax has the option of moving the sensor forwards and backwards during exposure to adjust focus for different wavelengths of light and merging the data to remove aberrations and increase sharpness for every lens ever made...
just an idea... I dunno

lol. Anyone can patent a silly idea. Even some good ideas have been patented but never came to anything.
Like this one you link to hasn't in 13 years..
one could argue "Why put both a screen AND wi-fi into the same body since everybody has a smart phone these days you could cut costs and weight by omitting the screen and using an app"
but yet the ks1 and ks2 have BOTH built in (but no live view on the app)... it makes sense to have a pop off remote/viewer for the k1 especially if the touchscreen allows you to tap focus while the camera is on a tripod. and your phone stays in the pocket....
