That's the fate these days of a camera without flippy screen...
Never bought one because of this fixed screen.

Pity really. Then again, I've never had a cam with a flippy screen and
never really missed one. For me the point is moot, anyway. Haven't left
the house for months.

If it were my only body, that might be a consideration. When I was doing
astro work a flip screen would have been very handy.  There are a few
things that my K-1 does better, and a lot of area where my K3-III
outperforms the K-1.

I'm thankful that I'm in a position where I don't need to pick just one.
