Originally posted by buttons I got my K01 for $349 with 40mm XS F2.8 lens and it was hands down the best camera for the money ive ever had. Now my friend is enjoying it, when i borrow it... it feels so clunky and weird but the IQ and ease of use is top notch.
Also, if pentax released a barebones Full frame LX-D for sub $1500 id be all over one.
A mirrorless camera, with the guts of a K-5, that used K-mount lenses at $799 was not a bad price. But that same camera, brand new, under $300 (what I paid for mine with no lens), was an absolute steal.
