While I am new to the forum I am not new to Pentax equipment, I have used the SF10, SF1N, the K 100d and now I have a new K-5. I look forward to reading through the forums

To answer your questions:
-How would you rate the look overall?
For look it is ok, not really impressed. The designer is "one of the most sought after" maybe he should stay away from cameras in the future.
-Does the 40mm fit the camera well?
The lens does fit "this" camera well.
-Are you planning on buying one based on what you've read about it in the official announcement?
Do I plan on buying one that would be a big NO. Since I shoot most of my photos outdoors a viewfinder is a must the screens on the back are too hard to see outdoors. Plus I find I can brace the camera better when it is up to my face.
-In buying a camera, how important is the look compared to the features? Very important, somewhat important, or unimportant?
To me the features, capabilities and ease of use of a specific camera far out weigh the "look". If it is pretty but not useful then it is a waste of money.
-How do you think people who've never heard of Pentax would react to this camera?
I don't see this as being a camera to draw people in. Especially not for someone looking for a Pro level camera. I really hope this is not the new direction Pentax is taking, if so I will start saving to replace my entire system.
