Originally posted by luftfluss I agree. I'm sure if Steve Huff were a member of this community, he would be receiving a copious amount of gratitude. I've noticed that Adam's horrible-quality videos for his "First Impressions" article have received only minor criticism. And I'm not saying this to criticize Adam, as he has quickly given us a brief taste of the K-01, for which I am grateful.
His videos were lacking in any and all fluff commentary. We took it to show what it meant to show.
Mr. Huffs on the other hand...
..the only reason I do harp on his video is because he keeps comparing the K-01 to the k-5. He should compare it to the NEX5N. Or any other mirrorless. I don't care if it loses to the NEX5N. The NEX5N is a great mirrorless camera. However, comparing it to the k-5 is a bit silly -
-multiple users have said it's quite a bit smaller in the hands than the k-5, more than it'd seem
-it has the same sensor, but is restricted and optimized for video
-the missing mirrorbox will allow for lenses that are recessed further in, especially zooms (a very critical issue with mirrorless cameras like the NEX series)
-it's retailing at $750, comparing to the current k-5 retail fo $1,100
-it's not weather resistant
-it's got quick CDAF, which is also much more accurate than PDAF
If he tried comparing to the NEX5N, then all of the items above would be great to talk about in comparison.
