I wouldn't mind mirrorless with its inherent light weight, but with all
my Pentax lenses I'm hesitant to change brands.
And it is so useful now to be able to switch lenses of FF and APS-C in
the Pentax system without any converters.
The K-1 is a perfect camera but not for carrying on long walks if
combined with a tele.
As a walk-around camera I much like my K-5 with a small lens as the DA
21/3.2, but the fixed back screen is sometimes a handicap.
A compact APS-C with improved sensor and flip-out screen would therefore
be on my wish list for Santa Claus.
In fact both K-70 and KP are good choices and we haven't seen yet what
the new flagship has more to offer than a better prisma and two card slots.

A flip out screen is extremely useful in taking pictures of flowers and
mushrooms or critters close to the ground. Also for landscapes when on a
tripod.
For me this is one of the most valued features of my K-1.
I also value a flip-out screen. But on top of that I prefer a fully
articulating screen that flips out, then can rotate in both directions, and
even fully close again with the screen facing inwards and not visible at all. I
have it on an Olympus Pen F and love it. So much so that I'm considering an
OM-D EM-1 mark II camera as another body with the same feature. (The original
OM-D EM-1 just has a flip-up screen.)
I'm really enjoying the M43 concept. I can easily get my head around the lenses
and their angle of acceptance, and there's some big bonuses, particular at the
long end. My A*85/1.4 is awesome on M43 and with the 5 axis IS, is so usable
handheld.
Actually I don't have any Oly lenses. The A*85 is joined by a 24/2.8 and a
50/1.4 - love using these lenses - they all have adapters on them for easy
swapping out.
The other two are Samyang 12/2 and Voigtlander 15/4.5
Enjoying the mirrorless life!
