use a loud clap when you start recording and when you finish..
in your nle:
import your video and audio sources, line the audio wave forms up to the audio spikes, and turn down or delete the cameras audio...
final cut pro does have an auto synch feature which is nice, but the old way works fine...

I personally think the descision to announce it is telescope based design is a good marketing move.... I can see a lot of home astronomers buying this and the k-5 and gps unit as a kit just to use the star tracking feature... a new niche market other camera makers have left to third party T-mount adaptors.... So I expect this lens will priced aggressively....

You would need a sepperate battery for the screen and lens mount.
Constant wireless coms = high battery drain
The detachable screen has limited use - self portrait
1 hand holding screen & 1 hand operating touchscreen &1 hand moving lens to frame photo - dosnt work.
If it were easy to design a lens mount that accepts multiple lens fittings someone would have done it already
How is the lens mount going to ballance on a tripod?
Its a nice idea but too impractical to impact the current market, however I could see cameras coming out with WiFi and an app to allow controls and liveview to be used from a smartphone
and that I believe was something Apple saw as well... Steve Jobs was in negotiations with Lytro to licence lightfield cameras.... lytros also included a wi-fi chip in thier cameras.... I believe weel see a similar set up in future frimware in the lytros cameras that integrates the camera controls, and teathers these cameras to an iphone ap..Having been a design engineer, in a previous life, I couldn't help but start thinking about the practical problems this represents and trying to think what problem it solves.

expect the 645 lenses to go up... in value... if Pentax brings out a medium format sized k-01...
I imagine a bigger, chunkier k-01, weathersealed, packaged with your choice of K or 645 or 6x7 lens adaptors... with a large sensor that may wind up being cropped to fit image circle for the size lens you mount...
so a 40 mp sensor might give you 30 mp ff k mount... 22 mp aps-c kmount or 40 (or better) mp medium format...
and as I said.. seperate adaptors for each mount for the same medium format evil class body..
priced to compete with Canikon's ff offerings!
and yes an evf..
Pentax releases the Mother-of-all-Evil's!

It looks like a great little (full frame! :twisted mirrorless body... but i do not see any point in divorcing the lens from the body / screen. Having wifi link-up to a separate remote screen, yes that makes sense, but that would be acheivable with a more normal looking camera.
yep.. I couldn't agree more.It looks like a great little (full frame! :twisted mirrorless body... but i do not see any point in divorcing the lens from the body / screen. Having wifi link-up to a separate remote screen, yes that makes sense, but that would be acheivable with a more normal looking camera.
Would be nice to see wifi or bluetooth tethering with full smartphone/tablet controls in a standard d-slr or non reflex camera.
it would be even nice to see p-ttl upgraded with bluetooth... for wireless flash control... as well.

I don't know if I'll get one. In Québec, Nissin is a noodle brand.
