I own the K5, K7 and K10, but I\'m sad to say that I have no interest in this k-01, personally. Jman summed it all up above why that is, and all of the Pentaxians I know in real life feel the same way.
It\'s sad to see a company you support waste development resources on a product that appears to be very weak in fulfilling its intended role. We need more winners like the KX and K5, not these silly experiments like this K-01 (And honestly, The Q).

No SAv mode, no sale.
Are you saying the K-01 doesn\'t have it? That is a HUGE mistake. TaV mode (Aka \"SaV\" aka \"Auto-ISO\") on a Pentax is one of those things that they do very well. I use TaV all the time on my K5 and it\'s fantastic for certain situations. Whereas Auto ISO on a Canon or Nikon just does not work at all (I\'ve tried it a few times while borrowing the 5DII and D700 when shooting for studios over the past few years)
Why would Pentax drop a feature that they did better than the other guys?
