Oh... so we have the old game: Quantity vs Quality.
Five against one?
Originally posted by lytrytyr I have to disagree with your assessment.
If you "have to", then it is basically compulsion.
Originally posted by lytrytyr The K-01 is certainly better at focusing funky lenses like the Tamron 17-50 A16.
I wasn't aware this Tamron is funky.
But I know quite well about the difference of AF Phase-Detection vs. Contrast Detection
Originally posted by lytrytyr It is certainly better at handling M42 lenses.
And why would that be so?
Originally posted by lytrytyr It is certainly more compact without the pentaprism hump.
Yes, I would be more compact without my head. A very intelligent argument?
Originally posted by lytrytyr And it is certainly smoother without the weight of the mirror flipping back and forth (translates to lower shutter speeds for hand-held operation).
Well, and without a sensor even smoother.
The most senseless argument I ever read for the K-01.

Originally posted by Fogel70 IMO K-S1 was one the most stylish digital ILC Pentax ever made.
But they should have skipped the LEDs on the grip or designed them to integrate better with the styling of the camera. Instead of looking like they were from a 1980s boombox.
I like the K-S1 very much.
I liked the K-01 but after 2 years got fed up with the limiations.
I still like the approach PentaxRicoh tried with it and I love minimalistic design.
No problem if we would have a K5IIs with KAF4 but just Av, Tv, Tav, P and M or something similar.
Even if just Av and Tv. ... fine... I could live with that easely.
