It is cute in the way pugs and bulldogs are cute. That is to say, not at all cute but there is definitely something there.

It's very nice, modern and simple. It look like a real camera versus the other mirroless. THat what make the difference
I still believe it's a K-R replacement and I still believe price will be $899 with the lens $799 body only. Will see

XS lens should go with the K-5 as there is a leaked photo of it mounted to one.

kent · 02-01-2012, 08:51 AM

any more xs lenses or is it only 40mm?

I would hope for XS 21mm, 70mm

XS 15mm would be hilariously awesome though

I am currently planning to get 70mm lens, but... I will wait for official news. If there will be xs 70mm, I am in the game.

I'm curious to see if it's a K-5 in a new dress (or skirt in this case), or if the electronics and AF have evolved. Looks better than a NEX if you ask me.

So that is a mirrorless system with lenses to support it!!!!

I love that yellow camera. It would go well with my yellow car and yellow laptop.

It's not much smaller than my K-x and DA 40 Ltd. I'm OK with the size and I like the way it looks, but no VF is a big problem. I'll have to wait and see how well it focusses and if there are any hidden tricks before deciding.

I wish there is a picture of the back side of this camera.

did anyone notice that the older Pentax logo is being used? its not the newer logo that was introduced under hoya. it looks more like the classic pentax name. I wonder if this was just part of the design to go along with the classic 'K' or if Pentax will be reverting back to this style on all of their future cameras?

ogl · 02-01-2012, 09:22 AM

I'm afraid new lenses will be only for K-01...

Could be. I like it. And I like the font on that K-01.
