Would it be easy to use with manual lenses?

If in doubt, live view with peaking and magnification (says the K-01 owner).

Is this something like 5 axis IBIS?

Image Stabilization
Type: Sensor-Shift Shake Reduction with rotational compensation (3.5EV TBD)
Electronic level function: Yes, verification via viewfinder and LCD panel

I'm torn between black and silver; it's hard to tell in product photos if it actually would look good in real life...

although with the "limited edition silver" it comes with the grip and a special strap... hmmm... Hopefully it will be sold in Australia in the first place!

There is rotational compensation on the K-5...

They might have upgraded performance, but rotational compensation was also implemented in the K-5. Same concerning the electronic level.

The top view of the mode dial shows a two-way arrow with a "Lock" label.
Perhaps one can really control whether the lock pin is active or not. I'd appreciate that. Don't need the lock pin and could do without the finger contortion when changing the mode.

Wohow! Awesome... I think I need this camera.

No focus peaking?
No 1920x1080 50p?

I think this clearly shows that Ricoh is very serious about Pentax.
Probably the meanest aps-c dslr out now

So what's the BIG thing in the K-3 that was undisclosed yet???

Not sure - maybe the ability to control the camera by smartphone using a FLU card?

I think so too... Unless Nikon's planning on going out with a D7200 this early, or a D400
