Hi,
as i mentioned in other post, i got my KP 2 weeks ago. And Im really loving this camera, i left the DSLR world years ago and decided to go with mirrorless. Since i moved entirely to mirrorless i have tested many (too much actually) bodies from different brands and the mirror world didnt catch my attention anymore until this Pentax KP saw the light. I really liked the design of the camera and imagined it paired with the limited primes. I donīt want to take with me heavy bodies and lenses anymore. So I decided to pull the trigger for one black version. For me it is really comfortable with the middle grip (mine came with the three optional grips) and the customization possibilities are insane, IMHO it may actually match the taste of any user in terms of direct access and control. It is well Built, i donīt understand some of the comments about plastic feeling and so on, because it is really robust and feel like a tank. At least compare to any mirrorless, it feels better built than any of them, but the Oly Em1II, which may be equal as robust.
I had some personal issues the first day, because Im already use to the EVF and coming back to the OVF was strange. I relay partially on the exposure i see on the electronic viewfinder, this means when i see a correct exposure i shoot (you see what you will get). What happened at the beginning, my brain was processing a correct exposure through the OVf (what my eyes actually see, not the exposure) and the first shots were all underexpose. Of course was a matter of some hours to start again using the exp. bar and come back to the roots. But it was funny to come back to something you are not use anymore.
The Image quality, i think is at least on par of the best cameras out there, to be honest i donīt think the IQ or High ISo stuff is point to discuss nowadays, almost all the cameras are capable to give you nice results in almost any situation.
Iīm really enjoying this camera with the limited 70 , i will add two more limited, 40 or 43 (any suggestion between these both is welcome) and the 15 or 21. I will use this KP together with my other camera, the Fujifilm X100f. I like to do street and urban Photography, so i think these two will make a great combo. And i hope to stop the buying and selling gear. At least for a while, because in this techno world, you can never say, forever.
Some pictures of my unit and how it is compared to my x100f. May be i make a deep comparison in other post about these two cameras, which seems to be quite different, but IMO have a sort of similar soul behind.

Iīm pretty much agree with Redpit. Nevertheless i can tell you that i had the sony a6500 which has a crazy fast autofocus, but i ended up selling it because of the body size (too small for my hands for a long period shooting), and now have a KP + fujix100f and i donīt have any complaint on the AF. I donīt do sports or wildfire pics though.

I have this camera for 2 weeks already and I have to say that this camera is nice, fun to use and a great performer.
Loving this camera and my feeing is totally different to the review from the camera store. It feels robust, well built and fit great in my hands with the middle Grip. I'm using it mainly with the limited 70f2.4.
