Don, your a mind reader. I could not for the life of me find that image. These are still on sale in Bahrain in the equivalent of a pound shop. As soon as I saw the K-01, it reminded me of the Olympia.BigJR wrote:

sorry to disapoint, but those were better cameras. They came WITH viewfinders..I just can't shake the feeling that it is what a child would have drawn 30 or so years ago if you'd asked them what a camera from the future looked like.

I've noticed a couple of comments about the sensor, bu Pentax did say that it was a new sensor.
If so, then even more chance that the IQ may be better?I've noticed a couple of comments about the sensor, bu Pentax did say that it was a new sensor.

The prices should not affect one another.
The K5 and K-01 are two very different cameras, having only the sensor in common. It will be interesting to see how the K-01 IQ looks with it's new M imaging engine.
It just may turn out to be the defacto platform for the Ltd's?

The 550 is good news as many have been wanting a longer lens. The next question is how fast? f/5.6 or f/6.3??????
Even better at f/4 (maybe wishful thinking).

"and ridiculous high scores in lab test shoot outs compared to other mirrorless cameras"
I have to agree Don.
One small point that may be worth considering. Most of Joe public walking into a shop to buy a camera do not look at accurate reviews of camera equipment. Most won't even understand what with a mirror and without a mirror means nor even understand what the mirror does.
Forum discussions can make valid points based on a better understanding of the equipment.
The salesman at the point of sale has more influence with Joe public than some technical jargon in a magazine.
If performance results made a difference, everyone who shoots APS-C would or should be shooting with a K5. But they are not.
For the enthusiast, a new model in their brand of choice is a like it or lump it situation.
Time will tell as it did with the Q and 645D if we see this camera in everyday use by the people who buy the most cameras i.e. Joe public and not we who maybe take photography a step further.
Best regards

I can add the k-5 image quality to my kit without breaking the bank...
Don, a K5 costs 589 pounds here in Australia, that's not breaking the bank. It still costs Pentax the same to make it now as it did when they launched it. The difference was profit.I can add the k-5 image quality to my kit without breaking the bank...
Is it due to the video spec's that you want it.

It should roll of the shelves.
Unfortunately for me, I've just invested in another camera so I'll have to save up.
