Originally posted by Art Vandelay II I'll take it you are no fan of EVIL's. That's fine, but I like both SLR's an EVIL's, and I look forward to Pentax making both.
Ok, so not screw drive, but it does make clearance for a mirror box, which is obviously no longer needed. I simply mentioned screw drive because that is just one more item from the film era that is no longer required. And thanks for the tip, but I've used a Pentax K1000, ME Super, and currently my main camera is a Pentax LX. They are all quite small, but they won't fit in a pocket like a Sony NEX5 can. You should really test out the Olympus clip on EVF. I much prefer using that to any APS-C DSLR viewfinder. The sad truth is optical view finders just aren't as good as they used to be. That may change one day, but there doesn't seem to be much of a demand for it, so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for an OVF as good as the Pentax LX has.
They will care when their camera bodies are twice as thick as Sony and m4/3's.
I don't really understand why you're so upset about these Pentax EVIL rumors. I suggest not reading about it if it's going to upset you. Some people prefer DSRL's, some prefer EVIL's...life goes on.
I wish you hadn't combined my 2 posts into one response. However, the 4/3 is not aps-c, we were talking about the NX, rebmember?
Plus, I said Asahiflex and K. The K1000 and LX are larger than them.
Edit: The *istD and other film bodies show that the thickness isn't as big of a problem as some make it, especially with the aforementioned DA ltd pancake lenses.
Edit: Edit: The NEX will not fit in the pocket either with the zoom kit lens.
