I normally like "different" but really this one was a loser from the start. Still, the company learnt its lesson... no, wait a minute, they released the KS-1, so they couldn't have.
Just the numbers for comparison, feel welcome to look up the sales numbers for items such as the Sony mirrorless line versus anything Pentax has ever come out with. K-01 = marketing and engineering failure

To see such a list go to a site such as B&H, then SLR lenses, then full-frame.
Now if only companies such as Sigma could be persuaded into adding some more of their lenses into PK full-frame the list would easily exceed 75++

The competition all have inbuilt flash
A majority of cameras from companies such as Canon and Nikon do NOT have built in flash, especially the newer releases that are due to come out from both of those companies - such as the 50mp+ models from Canon. For both of those named companies, mostly the entry level to a select few of the intermediate level models have built in fill flash.
Ironically though... Most of the Leica models do not have built in flash, but the top of the digital line Hasselblad's do have quite an impressive fill flash. I have yet to EVER see anyone use a fill flash on a Hasselblad in the real world though

Be sure to verify that the lens does indeed have a tripod collar on the lens; almost all of the mirrored t-mount lenses do not; as well as some of the non mirrored varities

Considering how much I use LowePro rucksacks/gadget bags and all... The Gorilla pod line leaves a lot to be desired. I've seen quite the number of them fail completely, basically dumping both camera and lens to the surface. Also a majority (but not all) of the Gorilla pods do not have the wait capacity for such a camera and lens combo. Factor in , that's under ideal conditions, add the wind into that factor to tro to see how well all of it holds up?|
There's also the cheap tripod thing. Be sure to look at weight capacity (again, under ideal circumstances) very carefully. Be sure to check both the tripod capacity and also the possible tripod hear capacity
