Originally posted by greg57 This is basically a castrated K-5. They made a mirrorless for the sake of making a mirrorless and were very careful that it does not cannibalize the sales of DSLRs.

Fail :P
if it focuses much faster and accurately than the K-5 and has much better IQ than the K-5 or NEX-5n, and has focus peaking and AF-tracking, then it's worth the shot. I would prefer if they would sell the K-01 with the new kit DA40 at $750, which would make it much more tempting for new dslr buyers and possibly buyers who are considering the K-5. the K-5 is still expensive at $1,000 or $900. so something cost less than the K-5 and castrated but is still an improvement would be much more tempting than the K-5. the K-5's dirty sensor, flash problems still scare me.
