Product Description
[Viewfinder that enables you to become more immersed when taking a photo ] The viewfinder and the height of the screen are designed to prevent your nose from contacting the camera body so that you can look into it more naturally. Also equipped with an eye sensor, the image monitor turns off at the same time as looking through the viewfinder. This prevents the screen's illumination from affecting visibility during shooting, while allowing you to capture images more comfortably.

'm glad at least one company remains committed to comfortable camera bodies for larger telephoto lenses and optical viewfinders free of lag and blackout. It's so much easier to track fast moving birds when you can see them thru glass rather than waiting for an electronic screen to redraw them.
I love this camera. It seems very well thought out. Pentax took their time to make sure what they're releasing is a quality product, and I think perhaps some of the things that could use a little improvement are exactly the kinds of things that firmware updates can address. When trying out a camera the grip isn't something I usually think about because I assume it will feel "quirky" in some way or other, and that I'll just "get use to it," as if it was made for some other hands. Not so with this camera. I found it immediately comfortable. I wasn't sure if I would like the touch screen, but I now see how useful they've made it. I love it. Also with the few tests I've done they've really hugely improved upon immediate transfer of images (even RAW) to a smartphone. The auto-focus is excellent. As expected, it's a super solid build. It's not silent like a mirrorless, but I think this is the first DSLR where the sound of the shutter was soft enough where birds aren't startled right at go. The menu takes a little getting use to as it's changed quite a bit, but there's nothing I haven't searched for that I didn't find with occasional use of the provided manual.
Is it worth the price tag? For me it was. I have a bunch of Pentax lenses already and I wasn't going to wait six months for the price to maybe come down to try this out. Now that I have it I won't be returning it. :)
