Pentax K-01 - Photo Review
In my post-hoc attempt to justify my impulse buy, I havebeen looking at every set of sample photos for the k-01 I can find. I am finding that either the photos are absolutely stunning, rich in color, and amazing detail....or they are blurry and out of focus. There are enough of the latter that it cannot just be someone who doesn't know how to shoot.....so what gives? Why the dramatic difference. I dont think any of the photos on that site are anything approaching usable.
Probably because they used a zoom lense with the original firmware. I am betting that focus was not spot on.
edit: I am not impressed at all that they used a zoom in a review. Not a good idea if you actually show what a camera is capable of. /edit
AF with the 1.01 fimware is much faster and more accurate.
If you want to look an a huge number of pics taken with the K-01, head over to flickr and do a search for K-01.
