Any dude who says any camera is beautiful has serious mental problems. They look like hunks of plastic or metal for the most part. What a drama queen.

To that I say...
"Your mother is ugly and she dresses you funny... but I still think you're OK, don't I?"

Try it - google K1 and see how many hits you get for the 'failed' k-01

Hmm. I get a lot of very relevant hits for the K-1. From dpreview, ricoh-imaging, popphoto, PF, engagdet, imaging-resource...

Well, there is the SV. Beautiful, in a classic industrial design sense, like a Raymond Loewi EMD-F locomotive.

There's "art" made from plastic and/or metal. Aesthetic considerations can and do apply to cameras, too (even though what it matters is what gets out of the camera).

So if your guest will tell you that your house looks like a shit, it's ok for you? I believe a lot of plastic and metal are used there.... If I say beautiful car doesn't mean I like it more than a beautiful woman....

"Your mother is ugly and she dresses you funny... but I still think you're OK, don't I?"

I don't really get it

An unfortunate Hank Moody mis-quote there, Norm...

Remember the thread stating that the camera needs to be priced at $1,800 or less to be a success, and most of us (including me) thought that would not be possible. Well, it is.

Don't get it either, maybe I also have reading problems together with mental problems.

Oh I get it. There's a school of thought wherein function is paramount and aesthetic considerations shouldn't be considered, especially as a ranking factor in a decision set. I sort of agree, but to paraphrase Vince Lombardi, "I'll take a good pretty camera over a good ugly camera every day."

The chart from DPR is interesting. DPR also quotes Ricoh as saying all DA zooms are crop mode only. Some of this info seems to go against user tests....

DA 15 F4 Limited Crop Mode Only

I have no idea who Hank Moody is and "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny " has been saying since I was 10 years old. " I don't care what everyone says about you, you're OK with me" is also I line I've heard for 20 years, and I chose to creatively combine them. Us comedic geniuses do that.

I agree, but again, I don't think that K1 is ugly, don't you? and what's wrong if someone will say it's beautiful?

[normhead]

I'm sure I have both and ADD but you don't see me bragging do you?

I just don't see how whether the reveiwer thinks a camera is ugly or not belongs in a camera review. I don't care what he thinks about how the camera looks. But hey, that's just me.

In the comparison photos, I thought, "That looks like a Pentax." it never became pin up material for me.

Hank Moody - the TV series Californication...

"You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny" was what Hank said to himself in the mirror... I'm sure it was accidental that you said "Your mother is ugly and she dresses you funny"
