Pentax K-01

Some thoughts... Presumably it is an electronic shutter? That should mean flash sync at any speed. Also, no issues with AF adjustment as it's focused off the sensor (I wonder how fast it is?). Doesn't look like WR is likely to me - the battery door hints at non-WR (the WR bodies have some k...

I think Pentax is gonna bypass ff for the short term and release a k-01 styled Evil with the sensor from the 645d.......:shock: they will call it the 645 FUGLY-01 :twisted:

After the initial shock of it, I am beginning to warm to it. Forget the 40mm XS, it just looks ugly with it. with a proper prime it has a purposeful look to it. You could even say techno-industrial design. Just looks wrong in Yellow, that makes it look like it has just come off the set of Space 19...

It would be very possible to design lenses that protuded further into the camera as there is no mirror to get in the way. This could mean more compact lenses, but taken too far there would be Leica's problem of oblique light rays striking the sensor. Of course, with new designs of sensor that may no...

Just took a look at the specs and seeing it only offers Exposure Compensation up to +/-2 is a bit off-putting. I very frequently use more than this and forcing you to switch to full manual mode every time you need more is just a downright unnecessary inconvenience. I mean, having the same sensor ...

sony makes a $350.00 evf for the nex 5n.... that is $350.00 us for a tiny vewfinder, where the pros are buying zacuto eye finders for the back lcd's on d-slrs to get a bigger viewfinder... for about the same price... I think Pentax made the right choice here.. as for exposure comp... I think the ...

I like the design a lot and if this sells well in the Far East (Japan and China) then it may well do the job for Pentax. Over here in the West, on the far side of the world, we are yesterday's news and I doubt this is really designed for us. I doubt I would buy one, though. No EVF or tilt-screen ...

[quote:3496ace15f="geordie01"]The camera in my phone just about does what the ko1 does why would i want to lug this around as well. Because the camera in your phone doesn't produce professional quality images that could be used in the most prestigious magazines and books, or enlarged to make stunnin...

I wouldn't lament the lack of an EVF as even the best EVFs are pretty poor. Given the choice, when I tesed the Sony SLTs A33 and A55 the back screen was the far better choice. You should try the new generation EVFs on the A77/A65 which are said to be significantly better, and the basis on which Sony...

Re the lack of EVF. . .Also, it's just a box containing electronics and hardware. How easy is it to make another box to take the same electronics and hardware, with an extended 'pentaprism' to take an EVF? Very :P As I understand it it's not quite that simple. The relatively recent introduction o...

Like the design, like keeping the K mount, but why no EVF? We've got the Sony sensor, why not the Sony EVF?

We've got the Sony sensor, why not the Sony EVF? Maybe Pentax didn’t ask. Or maybe Sony feel that with the deskilling of the camera manufacturers - ex Canon and maybe Samsung - in core sensor technology and their near total reliance on third party technology, they have a unique opportunity to exp...

Perhaps the K-01 is a little "optimistically" priced but I've just read that the Fuji X1-Pro is going to be £1490 body only. That makes the K-01 look quite reasonable at £650!!!! Quite the opposite. It makes the beautiful and carefully designed X1-Pro, -- complete with viewfinder and a system of ...

So as I mentioned before, due to a possible new sensor and new M imaging engine, it sounds like the IQ is another step up from the K5. It should roll of the shelves. Unfortunately for me, I've just invested in another camera so I'll have to save up. Best regards

So hopefully there will be a K5s with this sensor at some stage.

So hopefully there will be a K5s with this sensor at some stage. It makes sense if they do as the cost is minimal and whatever replaces the Kr won't impact sales. If that seems reasonable, I'm probably way off. The pixel race is over as proven by Canon and Nikon. With the exception of the D800 wh...

Well I for one would definately buy a K5 mk 2 with this new sensor and extra video features. The my existing K5 would be second body- perfect!! Never gonna happen then!:(

The iPhone just isn't a competitor for cameras like the NEX at all, with it's tiny lens and sensor. Yes the iphone and similar phone cameras (why is it always the iphone - Sony Erricson have better phone cams) will probably almost wipe out the compact sector, but a camera with interchangeable fast l...
