Originally posted by Adam I don't think you're wrong, but the reason you weren't getting sharp photos could be that you were used to holding a smaller body or needed to get familiar with focus peaking, etc. Shouldn't have anything to do with your hardware.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Unfortunately I didn't have much time to use my new camera yet. I only took pictures in and around the house. This time of the year the light is quite dim, so only high ISO pictures are possible to get decent shutter speed. I notice that I need shutter speeds of 1/80 and faster to get sharp pictures, with moving subjects even faster (+ 1/125).
SR seems a lot less effective as I was used to before with my former K-x, but that is probably because of the fact I'm holding the K-01 loose in my hands, while my K-x was stabilized because of holding it with the viewfinder to my eye.
All learning curve with a new toy I guess...
To be certain: I read a review of the K-01 where the reviewer needed several copies of the K-01 before he got a decent one. After getting a good one he was very positive about the K01. How is the sample variation in real life and how can I determine that I received a good one right away?
