Originally posted by Dartmoor Dave I definitely prefer the clean, uncluttered styling of the original prototype. The K-1 looks like somebody threw a couple of handfuls of random buttons at it. Perhaps a touch of: "My camera is better than yours because it has more buttons than yours?"
I love that there are real dials and buttons for just about every shoot setting, instead of having to navigate page after page of menus as in other brands.
The third dial is a stroke of genius - its context is decided by another dial's setting - I choose ISO to get all the exposure triangle elements having their own dedicated control.
The ergonomics, the balance, the strong yet WR articulated viewscreen are just right for me, Dave.
