The K-S1 is the new K-01 - hated for silly reasons, not appreciated for what it is. The K-S1 has good image quality (20MP, no AA filter), it is a tiny camera, and has all features a newbie to amateur would need. Ive tried it in a store, and it was a nice surprise, even though the new button placement takes some getting used to. Its just different, and I am sure a user can get used to it as fast as to any new camera with different buttons. To me, the "worst" product would have to be doing something wrong, like problems with the sensor, restricted features, prone to failure, sensor stains and shutter problems. Not just "oh herp it has LED lights and the mode dial is on the back - worst product on the planet! What a death trap!" The main complaint is that it might be overpriced, but it was only just released and it is featuring a sensor that Pentax never used before. I expect its prices will come down soon, just like the original Q and K-01.
Edit: And I am talking about a general attitude towards the camera, not necessarily only the video in this thread. It was a fair enough video, they made some good points throughout, like about the Sony A6000. But the other "worst cameras" actually had problems with features, not just "it would be worth it if it cost $400 less"
Originally posted by normhead Cameras that come in a lot of colours are hurt in these kinds of statistics, there's a different bar code for each colour. So, the camera overall could be their top seller, but these clowns would never know.
Ah, good point! I've seen the black and the white version of the K-S1. Both look pretty good. The store said more colours will be coming in soon.
