I was being a little grouchy there, MFPro. Usually I'm all about the live-and-let-live. I guess I felt that the K-01 was being over-judged on, to me, a trivial shortcoming; but we all come at photography from different angles and it wasn't for me to be dictating how pictures should be taken.

Thanks to krebsy97 for letting us know how it all turned out and for his positive words.

:-) I like both cameras very much (except for the K-01 rubber SD-card cover, which my thumb tends to accidently open - and I don't like the strange DNG-files). However, I believe I'll keep them for some time :-)
I was surprised by the many (useful) focusing options of the K-01.

I wouldn't mind having a K-01 as a second cam for myself. The K-01 with DA Limited primes... sweetness!

My wife, on the other hand, found the cam a little too fussy. The K5 is a smooth operator and suits her better.
