Longtime listener here, just dragged the old Pentax K5 out of storage and went out in the snow to shoot this incredible storm. It's beautiful, but crazy. Thanks everyone!

The K-01 is a polarizing product, and it gives Pentax the opportunity to give so many of us what we really want...
Build a K-02 using the exact same sensor, but with a beautiful oversized 100 percent coverage EVF and NO rear screen. Just make the EVF so good we don't need one. Pour all of the money into making it so good we won't be able to peel our faces away from it. Wrap it in a rangefinder style body with a reduced depth because of not having a rear screen (Fuji X-Pro1 competitor at a much lower price anyone?). Get us back to taking pictures, not constantly showing them off and neurotically seeking approval for our artistic decisions.
K-01 for chimping snapshooters, K-02 for photographers.
I've been waiting for this moment for 4 years, since the first time I held a Pentax DSLR with live view, and thought, wouldn't it be great if it was like a classic ME body, everything in the viewfinder. And now we have the OM-d (Olympus EM5) to compete with. Yes, I know it would be a niche product, but what in the world is the Q? Fuji and Olympus are fighting hard for a small portion of the market, and Pentax has the glass, and now the resources, to make a truly iconic product, not just some designers show piece...
Am I the only one who would give up a rear lcd so readily for a smaller, lighter, more focused photographic instrument?
