My K-1 is close to 8 years old and still in mint condition.
Therefore I'll keep using it, though I would not mind having less to
carry in the woods.
The presence of GPS in the K-1 (II) is an important benefit for
reporting on observation.org.
But there is one feature lacking in all Pentax DSLR's, that is focus
bracketing for (semi) macro.
Canon, Nikon FF, Fuji and latest Sony camera's all have this built in.
Adjusting the focus ring by hand for say 15 shots on a camera at ground
level in the woods, whilst looking at a dark LCD screen, is a very
delicate skill and an unpleasant form of gymnastics.
My K-70 is not all suitable for this work.
Two days ago K-1 II user Edward Martins posted a video on YouTube in
which he discusses the rumours about K-1 mark III and gives a possible
explanation of the current Ricoh strategy for the Pentax brand:

My position now is to wait till I have an adequate "toys fund" for
switching to another brand.
