Stop asking serious photo enthusiasts if they want this. Ask Paris Hilton. Then start asking people that carry poodles and chihuahua's around in thier Gucci purses!

This Pentax is cute, and even if it doesn't match the k5 for image quality, at least it won't crap in your purse, or die if you leave your purse in you car, or run away if you're passed out on the floor in the bathroom stall of a trendy night club with white powder on your nose.... Paris, your camera has arrived!

As soon as a few stars are seen toting these, everybody will want one...

I suspect it will be a sleeper hit..... slow to start due to the pricing.... but Pentax will knock one right out of the park with this.

If Pentax can do with this Sony sensor what they did with the k5's sony sensor... it won't match the k5, but it will meet or exceed the 4/3's and also have a mass market appeal like none before it.

the k5 does in fact hold it's own against cameras with larger sensors according to dxo labs, after all...

I am optimistic.
like the canon elf, there are lot's of people that would think this thing to be a cool fashion accessory.

the Q has landed....... nc-1 will be the new kmount version...

neither did I.
Mattmatic is like a complete encyclopaedia of knowledge. Unlike me, who is a haphazard motley collection of "Idiot's Guide" books.... lol!

I've never bothered with the cap for mine... I just leave it on my smallest lens in my camera bag to save space..

Agreed. I was not meaning to offend. I am one of the few afflicted with the kr edial bug.... rather than assume or question the amount of users afflicted, I simply shared the info, and my (possible) solution and promised to report back on any negative outcomes for fixing it myself.

so yes, it is hard to gage such a poll, much less give a fair (as in fair to the company that makes the camera) answer.

if I was to post a poll asking people how has that dreaded Honda brake failure affected you?
and listed off 5 questions (none of which included "No failure" ) the nature of the post would CREATE the belief that there are Honda's with failing brakes everywhere!

This is why I answered the post above but could not answer the poll.
The original post came across as trolling to be honest.

Might as well ask "How many people in xxx national park have had thier vacations ruined by a Bigfoot attack?"

You have to start with the belief that there is a bigfoot in the park, before you can answer the question...

manfrotto makes several "PIPE" and "Cuff" type mini clamps, also superclamps... that when combined with a mini ball head make for a versitile camera mounting kit that takes less space/weight than a tripod.... especially if you got a bicycle (or motorcycle) with a sidestand...... I keep one such clamp on my motorcycle handle bar with a quick release plate in case I make a roadside photo stop while travelling.... much easier than a tripod.

mine does not appear to be afflicted.
