Merci, I knew who Marc Newson is ... but, I did not know the term "ocker" ... my vocabulary has been expanded.

Let me think about a French equivalent slang term ... nothing printable comes to mind at the moment ... later maybe.

And "oui", black tape, a permanent marker, exacto blade and/or dremel sanding tool could fix this in a jiffy! But some people will still find the K-01 just plain butt ugly ... different strokes for different folks, enough said.

Salut et à bientôt, J Frog

Self-destruct!

Seriously though, some have speculated that its a dedicated video button.

Not useless. It does add to the pieces so that folks that are at a loss for things to do can piece together all the leaked photos to have a 360 view of the camera before tomorrow!

Anybody's guess on that score. Ltd. seems to designate a complete package, including constrcution quality and aesthetics with IQ.

I love it, I think it looks great. It's everything I hoped for, especially if the next lenses extend the rear element into the camera to keep it small. I think its a genius move.

I wonder if the K5 is the last Pentax DSLR. I hope the next camera Pentax releases is another mirrorless with WR, an upgraded sensor, and a viewfinder - either optical or electronic.

If Pentax really follow through with this they could become market leaders. By which I mean, the first company to provide an upgrade route for their prosumer customers DSLR to Mirrorless. This may be what Ricoh were referring to when they spoke of a gap in the market to compete with Canon and Nikon.

Bravo Pentax.

i like the design, it's got the old asahi pentax feel to it, especially the left hand side one with a bit more silver colour to it.

if the price is right i might really be tempted to get one!

"Some Ocker"? Beer without an 'r'? I resent your negativity mate. I'm an Australian and Strine isn't my lingo - I'm no Ocker. If any people on this planet have a major speech defect it's Kiwi's.
