I didn't understand a word this guy says (except "Pentax", "Pentax Q," "retro design," "Ricoh," "Mark Newson," "K-mount" and maybe three or four others). For all I know, he might be trashing the K-01 (he does appear to be pointing out some of its weaknesses at times). But none of that really matters as far as this post goes. The way he visually presents the K-01 is very complimentary, entertaining and humorous (note the POSSIBLY special-effects-generated gleaming reflections a few minutes into the video ). It is either a professionally-produced video or else a very good imitation of one. He and/or his video crew (if he has a crew) really know their stuff. Pentax Marketing would do well to hire him or them! Be sure to watch it at full-screen size. Click here.

P.S. Maybe a PentaxForums member from eastern Europe could give us a synopsis of what he is saying (assuming he is speaking Russian, since Google translated the text from Russian).

P.P.S. Be sure to click the link in ibkc's first comment below. It goes to a more detailed written preview of the K-01 on the same web site.

Ha. I hope that didn't go over his target viewers' heads.

You can get a vague sense of what he is saying if you follow this link:

Basically, not a full review but a preview.

Thanks. I guess I should have done a bit more link clicking after I found the video, but I didn't.

It was interesting to try to interpret some of the reader comments at your link.
