I think it's significant that even though Pentax has not announced that they are discontinuing the K-01, there isn't one among the other K-mount stuff at CP+ - I even see the 40 XS in the shot of the display case. That just screams "not part of the product line".
I'm really glad Pentax tried the concept, and my only regret is that I didn't jump on it from the beginning - even at the unrealistic launch price. It's not perfect, and it can't replace my DSLR, but getting away from the viewfinder and working at arm's length for the past six months or so has been really refreshing (I'm also glad they did
not put an EVF on it - if they had, I would only use LiveView sporadically like before, and it would just be a funny-looking K-30).
If you've been on the fence, snag one and join the cult now! Ask about our Family Plan!
