I'm not shore if it belongs here or in the lenssection, but I think there is a need for a small zoomlens that is only to be used on K-01. So a lens that uses the space inside the camera, where dslr's have their mirror. Which would place this thread in the mirrorless K-01 section.
I was looking around to what to compare this camera with and came upon the Canon powershot G1x that futures a large sensor, but has a lens that is part of the body. That camera is also a step-up for people who come from P&S or want a back-up or handy small camera to carry along their dslr's.
Compare the sizes:
Compare camera dimensions side by side
The Canon does have some futures that we don't find on K-01 like articulated screen. But mainly it is a small package with the lens folded down when not in use.
For K-01 there is for a zoom only the current 18-55mm kitlens wich is big. Also it is not as what is usual for upgraders from P&S a 4x or 5x zoomlens, but only 3x zoom.
So I think that there should be a nice small zoomlens be made. That uses the space inside the camera and when possible retracts somewhat when not in use for putting this pack in your bag. I would say that 4x zoom would be nice.
DA 17-75mm/f2.8-f4.5 xs when wide angle is important or
DA 20-90mm/f2.8-f4.5 xs when it is more a wide/normal to short tele lens. Or something alike would make a great lens!
Any ideas on this? Should it future powerzoom (can K-01 run that?)? Or some sort of DC motor to be silent for movie-mode?
