Congrats on your new purchase

Lack of top LCD screen doesn't bother me. It's seems so silly to use that as a defining feature of a 'top end' camera.
I thought I'd miss it when moving to the K-30 from the K-100d but it wasn't a big deal. The rear screens are quite configurable to show the equivalent info.

Do like the Fuji top screen ones, where at least they put a modern display in it, rather than the green '80/90s calculator screen used by Pentax.

KP has it's target niche, it's just not a complete substitute for those wanting a K-3 style. This new camera looks to be the K-3 successor, so will see what that brings.
It's been 5+ years since that line of camera was last updated, so it's been a very long time coming. Tech has come a very long way during that period, so the expectations are high.

That's what I mean. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone considering buying a KP.

Most is a nostalgic trip from the early days of the Digital Rev channel, when they were doing funny stuff to get viewers.
It doesn't hold up today if you're not familiar with the channel.

KP wise I tend to agree with Lok to be honest. I don't like the way the KP looks and I would want a modern camera to have a rear touchscreen etc.
Understand that's my opinion, and believe everyone is entitled to their own. Usual story though, if the strengths match your must have requirements, then you're probably onto a winner.

That ones rather a mockumentary, harking back to their earlier Hong Kong based videos together.
Not entirely sure it promotes Pentax in a good light...

16-85mm for me.

That's my situation almost exactly.

I have recently purchased an entry level mirrorless, mostly for the kids, but my experience with it has been excellent, almost to the point that Pentax may lose me due to inactivity. The face autodetect AF has been excellent, mimicking what phones have been doing for years, but with a full APS-C sensor. Portraits are perfectly focussed on the subject and in auto modes the exposure is set to suit the face etc. All things Pentax can do in Live View, but taken to a whole new level of speed and accuracy.

The KP looks great, but it's not the same type of camera as the K-3 (sits in it's own niche between K-70 and K-3 ranges).
The new pentax looks like the real successor to the K-3 but will come some 5 - 7 years later?!
I'm very keen to see what it includes, and equally what it doesn't, and will then make a decision from there I guess.

Very nice.

Sounds like a fun little project.

Very nice set.

That's art. Love it.
