It's more like to have a built-in GPS than a flash. I rarely remember that my K3 even has one.

Copystands are for more than just documents and at work (in usual precovid days) they get used everyday. Sometimes one even has to queue to use one!
All of which actually misses my point, which was the range of things. The things themselves may have changed, however.

Pentax needs to attract new buyers, not just serve existing customers as they will be a diminishing market, so new cameras are necessary to keep up with developments and offer alternative options. This means that new models/upgrades are needed at least every couple of years as new buyers are unlikely to want a four year old or older design.
I do wish though they would spend a little time on the accessories like full frame teleconverters and extension tubes, they cannot involve much development and would make the marque more rounded.
When you look at older catalogues and they had tubes, bellows, full range of filters, copystands, ref convertor, diopter correction, bags, cases, and so on. The range was quite amazing.Pentax needs to attract new buyers, not just serve existing customers as they will be a diminishing market, so new cameras are necessary to keep up with developments and offer alternative options.

I haven't bought it for years, I used to subscribe to it but found after a while it was getting repetitive in its content. The last time I bought it the mag was about half the thickness that it used to be.
Most are, especially technique-wise. You have your annual article on getting sharp images, usually followed in the next edition by creative blur. DOF one week, shutter speeds the next... By the time I've skipped the product reviews and the technique articles, there can be little left!I haven't bought it for years, I used to subscribe to it but found after a while it was getting repetitive in its content.
