You might try reading them. If you subscribe to the "negative publicity is still good publicity" ethic then maybe it is a good thing.
Since you said so, I waded through the first page of comments on DPReview. The SNR is about 2 dB over there, but I detected the following signals. These were all the comments that were positive about the design (there were many others that were negative).
it's bold — Oery, Indonesia
Brave move, great design, respect to the Pentax. — GoranS, Croatia
I like it; and that us all that really matters.
Added to want list. — Kokoro, UK
About time for DPR folks to understand how bad camera designs were so far in most cases and how they could be improved. Sony should be sitting in first line and watching carefully, learning. — Zvonimir Tosic, Australia
Pentax is smarter than you think and most detractors in this forum are ignorant. There is a market for this […] Will the K-01 fit into a pocket? No, nor does a Nex or Oly, does it look different and not suit traditionalists? Absolutely, but is it different and take damn good stills ? Most likely Yes !!! — robbo d, Australia
There is no point in Pentax making black plastic boxes like everyone else. The "road less travelled" often has a better view. — topstuff, UK
I believe the design is very good. It is smart - it looks very usable. As oposed to NEX. Design is not about how fashinable it looks, that is much less important than utility. This seems like a very usable camera. — Jarda_Houdek, Czech Republic
its simplistic design and big body might please some people who feel intimidated by the traditional design — iae aa eia, Brazil
Its a beautiful design.. beauty is in the eye of beholder! — Naveed Akhtar, UK
Oh! Just felt in love with this beauty. Eventually something that does not look like a dino right away from the museum. Minimalistic design. Not made for shooting birds 1km away, not a flimsy little where-did-I-put-it thingy, clear and few buttons, large display, built-in flash, interesting line of lenses. Made for shooting great pictures and eventually NO TOY FOR ALL THOSE TECHIES HERE. — blechkiste, Austria
WOW!!! What a fantastic design!! Hahah! I like it, a must have!! Bet the image quality is awesome!!)) Bravo Pentax!!! — patoth66, Sweden
So for me I do see a good use for this K-01 with DA40mm/f2.8xs in my favorite colour (yellow). — RonHendriks, Netherlands
Perfect. want one NOW!
People who complain about the design should continue using cameras which look like cameras.
When you see a guy with the yellow one - that's me.
Regards to my always super critical dpreview friends. You will be surprised by the success of this "object". […] this design compares in quality to a good bottle of bordeaux rather than to junk food. not eveyone recognizes the difference. — fredscapes, Germany
Looks pretty cool to me — ripimage, [stateless]
Observations on the above: many people seem to strongly like it, Australians are overrepresented, and Americans are entirely absent. Anything else?
