For me, that would be quite sad since I have never actually sold a photo.
Hey, maybe you could sell one of your snaps on here?. Then you too will be a professional and qualify to be able to own one of these.

I once sold a photo, and am ready to mothball my new K-1ii (if that is not too premature) for one of these. I won't even need to wait for the sales

UPDATE:

I have finished writing the text of my review. I still need to take a few product shots tomorrow afternoon, then curate these and the test photographs for inclusion in the article. My tentative target for publication is Friday, 5th April, in advance of "beer night", when $26 might otherwise be spent on a round of drinks whose pleasures are but fleeting.

I'd like to sincerely thank all understandably-interested parties for their patience, and trust that patience will be rewarded in good measure...

I, for one, will hoist a pint in your honor.

Thank you for bringing justice to this camera or bringing this camera to justice, which ever it is!

I have played world of Warcraft and this PF online game is better. It's format is closer to the Oregon trail, (type 'bang') but the characters that populate the world are very cleaver, and tho the central plot is muddled, the side quests such as LBA and contest of the month are great.
The creativity and the depth put into the backstroke and more is immaculate.
Perhaps the best character you will run into is BigMackCam. PF has gone out of their way to make this character a must follow. If you follow his storyline currently he is taking us into uncharted territory not imagined in such games as Nikon or Canon. This is highly unusual although this particular character has transported us Into Sony, Samsung, and Hasselblad realms in the past.
In short play Pentax forums, join a guild or several (called threads here) try a quest and be sure to seek out BigMackCam.

I thank you. Quaff and enjoy that pint, but keep enough finances in reserve for... "The Camera"

'Tis no game I offer, but only the truth - and a gateway to another world, if ye will enter... that of professional photography. But ye must believe what is written, though thine senses might plot to fool thee. For now, remember this code - "320x240" - and mark it well. In time, it will serve thee well...

I just finished color grading a documentary where all the archival footage was 240p and 360p. It can be done!

Goodness gracious, this thread is from before I signed up and what a treasure find it is.

I don't want to conduct unlicensed necromancy on the review thread so I'll just say that "The box is reassuredly six-sided" has left me in stitches and now my cheeks hurt from laughing, Mike

Yes, it's a wonderful piece of satire! I recall waiting anxiously for the review, but, alas, I opted to get a K-3 Mark III instead. Call me crazy.

I wonder if @BigMackCam would consider a follow-up to compare it to the K-3 Mark III, for the benefit of potential buyers who are considering their options. Notably, the Camera features an integrated lens, built-in 'flash', and tethered lens cap. And it's lightweight. On the other hand, the K-3 III has no built-in lens, no flash, and lens caps are available only as additional purchases. It's heavy and bulky, and 80x the introductory price of the Camera.
