| Latest Review Posted | Pentax K-01
I have had the K20D since 2008 and wanted to update to the legendary K5 IQ, although being aware that a replacement had to be coming soon. I paid AU$670.00 body only in Sydney.
I wanted a platform which would allow experimenting with a large lens database in legacy glass. The new movie mode was a bonus as I use video professionally. After 3 weeks use, It's a love hate affair. I love the features and IQ but hate the form factor and no VF, so it's up for sale, brand new, especially as the K30 has been announced.
Add a reticulated LCD, faster focus, 14bit AD, and it would be a killer, different camera effectively. I think it will find a niche market, in social and event photography, and I could get used to it in a controlled studio environment for product and still life applications. Anyone into timelapse photography will find it a boom. Great value and output quality overall.
