Potential capability of articulated screens

How many threads are there asking for the features already on the K-70. It has only one shortcoming - it is not made with a metal exterior and so cannot possibly be used on tent pegs or pitons. Ricoh should have made a magnesium version doubled the price and called it a K4. For the solenoid snobs on this forum they could also change the colour of the aperture solenoid.

I confess I didn't know much about the K-70.
(Except that I think my Ricoh GRIII borrowed the entire sensor from the K-70?)

The articulated screen sounds impressive!
Does it have two-axis rotation similar to the image below?

If so, Ricoh/Pentax knew all they needed to know about articulated screens 4 years ago!

Five years ago. K-S2 had the left-swing/rotate screen in 2015. K-70 was the second model to have it. In selfie mode (full out and flipped), the shutter release automatically jump's back to the Wi-Fi button so you can actually shoot comfortably with the camera in the left hand. I'd be curious to know how one trips the Canon's shutter in selfie mode.

In terms of tilts, Pentax has had at least two designs: MX-I/KP style and K-1's style.

So yes, Pentax knows all about articulated screens.

I personally don't like handling the left-swing out designs. I find holding it awkward for the left hand in low shots. Tilt is good enough for me, but not a dealbrealer on K-new, which I will buy on day 1.

I've used K-S2 for selfies, however, for which, with a wide angle lens, it's actually useful for a DSLR.

How does that canon work in selfie mode?   Where's the shutter release?
