Pentax KP Review from the Camera Store

The Camera Store is very fair with Pentax cameras. They have posted a very balanced review on Youtube - the good and the bad.

Check it out:

Interesting. I was surprised about the negatives. The many buttons and dials are great, why complain about it? You just need a little time to get used to it, as you do with any new camera. The "gaps" are part of the design, to accentuate the lines, or so I thought. And I don't get the problem about the grip(s), but its a point, I guess.
Good that AF is improving and the PLM seems to be okay.

Still glad they did the review.
Oh, and wow, still so much snow!

Edit: UGh, I really cringed when he shook the camera to "dry it off". Was that the sound of the SR shaking around inside?? Rattling a camera is not a good idea, even if it is WR
