p.5 #1 · Pentax K-01 mirrorless coming soon?

It's odd...in this picture, I actually kind of like it. It's kind of cool with that micro thin lens.


+1

I'd buy it as a nice toy but I can't afford spending 900$ for a toy which its basic appeal to me is in the way it looks.

I still think it fails as a mirrorless camera system, primarily due to size and the use of the K-mount, which means that you'll generally be using DSLR lenses instead of smaller mirrorless lenses, and the lack of a viewfinder given the size, but with the little pancake it's kind of Bauhaus cool.


Sadly, I agree with that as well. While I admire Pentax of making bold moves (remember the Q?) I don't think they will appeal to many people. One can only hope that P will be more successful but with these parents it's hard to be optimistic.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Me too, I like it. Nice lines and curves!

If only it had an EVF I would get this as soon at it dropped to the $500 mark.

On the lens thing I always use DSLR lenses with my GH1 now so no difference there.

I think I want a red one with the 31/1.8.
