Originally posted by bossa That's not a problem. It may turn out that but I doubt it. Until the actual sales figures get released you aren't in a position to judge if the K-01 has been a success or not.
If it is a success, it will certainly qualify as an unusual success too!
Originally posted by johnmflores At the end of the day the K-01 will capture images with appreciably better IQ than the Olympus and neck and neck with the Fuji. And cost less than both. Does anything else really matter?
Sales matter more than anything, if I may interject a dose of reality. It does not matter how good the K-01 sensor really is, if it gets outsold by less expensive models that are using less performant sensors or by more expensive models with similar sensor performance.
That being said, I would like to join you guys in wishing from the bottom of my heart that the K-01 brings more and more adopters of the K-mount, thus increasing the value of my lens collection. To the health of the Pentax ecosystem!
PS: In particular, please also keep alive the rumors about the superiority of the MIJ versions - I may need to leverage that aspect in future transactions
