Never used that new double-dial thing, intended for features I never use (except ISO, which already has its own button) . That said, I find that dial more annoying than useful, being often turned by accident when taking the camera out of the holster bag. The same happens with the photo/video lever, often turned unintentionally from photo to video. I find the K-3 interface better conceived, straight and effective. However, the best one is the K-5 series, where all controls are direct and you can access them by touch with you eye at the viewfinder. Most of all, why swapping the Play and LV buttons over previous models in the K-1? Whichever of the two (either LV or Play) you press by accident when looking through the viewfinder, you get the screen on in your face. Is Play any better than LV in that event? I don't think so.
Actually, play/review is much better because all you need to do is lightly tap the shutter and it goes away. As I mention elsewhere, I don't trust the Pentax metering and frequently chimp the histogram. Since I'm fairly often using my left hand to do something like hold a flash, it's really nice to be able to hit the review button with my right thumb.
