Originally posted by Raffwal If they wanted to attract P&S upgraders, there would be no reason to use K mount.
I would consider the K-01 a literal bridge camera.
It allows people looking into the ILC market to buy something not too daunting and is familiar to what they're used to with P&S's... only, with a case of LBA
Once they get better, and look into full body cameras, they can easily upgrade without losing any money they invested in their lenses.
In short... i see no reason why there would be no reason to use K mount on the K-01 when there's at least one reason.
