Originally posted by jogiba Right, go get a Sony NEX with $400 A mount adapter so you could have a small fraction of what is available in K-mount but without SR.
I guess if you want to shoot HD video with K-mount lenses you could get the K-5 and get on your knees and beg Pentax to upgrade the firmware to give it the video feature set that is in the lower cost K-01.
i don't really think most user will go for this, some silly people that are easy targets for good sellers.
but my point is that people that would buy this camera will just use it as a point and shoot, with the one lens that they get with the camera, and probably never owned a SLR. they will NOT go for the K-01.
i think it will be existing Pentax owners, or people with Pentax in the family and hipsters that want to stand out in a crowd. unless pentax gets there marketing in gear and really sell this awesome camera
